Big Blue Benefit October 15, 2011

Oct 15, 2011, 1-5pm

Do you remember the first time you visited the sea? Did you play in the sandy beaches, explore the rocky tide pools, or dive under the shimmering surface of the waves? There is something in our human souls that seeks out connection to the oceans, and much that is gained in return. Everyone here at the Marine Science Institute holds a deep passion for the oceans, and all the great diversity of life that swims in its open waters and bays. We know that you do too, and that is why we hope you will join MSI in celebrating at the Big Blue Benefit on October 15!

We are fortunate to be joined in the festivities of the day by Alexandra Cousteau, the grand-daughter of legendary ocean pioneer Jacques-Yves Cousteau, is a well-established ocean explorer and advocate in her own right. She will be speaking on land, and will be joining us for a special voyage aboard the Robert G. Brownlee.

Much is planned! You can see all of the details at our web site, and jump into the bidding on our on-line auction! http://www.sfbaymsi.org/bigbluebenefit.html .
We hope that you can join us and show for support for our efforts over the last forty years. However, if you plan to attend you must reserve your space NOW! It is crucial for us to know that you are coming and support our mission.

Every dollar counts. A donation of any amount at time of RSVP will be greatly appreciated. Act now and reserve your place at the Big Blue Benefit!
