Who says we are all work and no play?  We put on a variety of ONDA events each year, and table at others, to reach out to the community and inspire desert recreation and protection.  We hope you can join us!

ONDA Year-end Celebration

First Friday, Dec. 2, 2011, 5:30 to 9:30pm
ONDA Headquarters, 50 SW Bond St., #4

Join ONDA members, supporters, and staff as we celebrate accomplishments of a year of desert conservation.

Gorgeous desert photos featured in our 2012 Wild Desert Calendar will be on display and available for purchase. Calendars will be on sale too (they make great holiday presents, and help the desert at the same time).

We will draw winners for our new-member-drive drawing. All who become new ONDA members before or at this event are eligible to win fabulous grand prizes, including a kayak, mountain bike, backpacks, and so much more.

We will also honor all of our ONDA volunteers; celebrate ONDA's Wilderness Stewardship program for winning a regional 2011 Governor's Volunteer Award; and open nominations for ONDA's volunteer of the year.

Move to the sounds of one of our favorite local bands,  Truck Stop Gravy; enjoy free drinks and snacks; mix and mingle with wonderful folks; and have an all-around desert-hopping time.

We'll see you there!
