The first thing to appear when you came
over the hill in the Macon neighborhood was a big festive tent in Claire
and Charlie Cox’s front yard. Under the tent on the beautiful
October night were over a hundred friends gathered to support the work
of the Altamaha Riverkeeper and Satilla Riverkeeper.

The Cox’s and other hosts live in the Altamaha River Watershed
near the Ocmulgee River and many have cabins on the Satilla River and
the group wanted to show support for both Riverkeeper groups. Claire
Cox is also proud of her brother, Gordon Rogers who was the Satilla
Riverkeeper until recently when he took the helm of the Flint Riverkeeper.
Everyone enjoyed the delicious BBQ pig and all the fixings catered
by Satterfield’s and cakes and pies homemade by the Cox’s
friends and family. The night progressed with updates on the Riverkeeper’s
work and fabulous music by the band, 6 Degrees.
It was a special night and we want to thank everyone for supporting
watershed protection. We are especially grateful to the hosts
who made the event possible.; Claire and Charlie Cox , Beth Collins
and Bob Farquhar, Bob and Susan Middleton, Duck and Jeanette Moss, Joe
and Virginia Popper, Lindsay and Marie Holliday, Molly Martin, and Tom
and Tricia Bass
Thanks also to Barry Hudson of Middle Georgia Tent Rental, Southern
Eagle Distributors, and Bee Natural Candles. With all of your
help, the Altamaha Riverkeeper and Satilla Riverkeeper will continue
to protect one of our greatest resources for generations to come. |
