Prairie Rivers Network’s annual dinner will be held on Friday, November 21st at the brand new I-Hotel and Conference Center in Champaign. We have a lot of wonderful success stories to reveal. And our new Executive Director will have the opportunity to share her vision for the important work that Prairie Rivers Network will be spearheading in the future.

PRN’s staff and Board of Directors cannot thank our members enough for your continued support over the years. We hope you will be able to help us grow and strengthen our work by attending our Annual Fundraising Dinner and bringing a potential new member with you.
