TUESDAY, 11 APRIL 2006

Join Access Fund's (AF) 15th anniversary celebration on April 29 for a night of dinner, drinks, live music and a slideshow presentation at the Quonset Hut in Blue Diamond, just outside Las Vegas, Nevada.

The ticket, which costs $35 buys you a complimentary one-year membership to the Access Fund. Or you could choose to give to a friend that you have been trying to involve with the organization. Add $10 more to the ticket and you can get an AF t-shirt. You may choose from a variety of sizes tailored both for men and women.

You may order the ticket by phone by calling Whitney Self at 303-545-6772 x113. You could also e-mail her at whitney@accessfund.org for your questions about the event. On the other hand, you can also order tickets through AF's website by clicking on this link.

Access Fund was created in 1989 by the American Alpine Club, “to raise, hold and allocate funds for access support projects and resources,” according to their history found in their website. Aside from purchasing lands, AF also provides financial and legal resources to local climbers' coalitions and the construction of reduced impact trails among other things.

You can check out AF's website at www.accessfund.org for more information about the organization.
