Oyster Roast Thank You

Thank you to everyone for your help in making our 6th Annual Oyster Roast on Saturday a great success.  The food was delicious, especially those Lynnhaven Oysters, More Perfect Jones provided great music, the weather could not have been more perfect and our volunteers were terrific!  It was a great day to celebrate the progress we have made toward restoring the Lynnhaven River and recommit ourselves to this good work.  Thank you again for making it such a successful day.
