Mingle with conservation leaders and friends of Madagascar at the hottest conservation event of the year!
The Lemur Conservation Network (www.lemurconservationnetwork.org) celebrates their launch on March 19th at a party in Washington, D.C. at the Right Proper Brewing Company. The Lemur Conservation Network unites over 40 organizations working to save Madagascar’s lemurs from extinction with people who want to support the cause.
The launch party is FREE to attend, and everyone is welcome. As a special treat for our lemur fans, we will have early copies of the late, great Alison Jolly’s new book Thank You Madagascar from 6 – 8 pm. The book won’t be widely released until next month, and we thank the Jolly family for the opportunity to share the conservation diaries of this seminal lemur conservationist with friends of the Lemur Conservation Network.
What: Lemur Conservation Network official launch party!
When: Thursday, March 19th, 6 – 10 PM
Where: Right Proper Brewing Company, 624 T Street NW, Washington, D.C. 20001
