The Watershed Association of the Tuckesegee River (WATR) and the WNC Alliance Tuckesegee Chapter are co-sponsoring a Valentine Party and social on Feb. 16 for all conservation and sportsman’s groups in the Little Tennessee Watershed including Jackson, Macon and Swain Counties. This will be an opportunity for interested members to meet and informally discuss the important common issues facing all conservation groups concerned with water quality and related topics in the region.

The “We Love the Earth” get-together will begin at 1 p.m. at the Soul Infusion Tea House and Bistro in Sylva with a pot-luck style dinner being served followed by live music and a sharing of ideas and information. A table will be set up for displaying information from the various groups.

Families and friends are invited and asked to bring their own plates and utensils and a dish to pass. A cash bar will be available. Soul Infusion Tea House and Bistro is located at 628 E. Main Street, Sylva (between UPS and Sylva Tire). For further information contact Jason at 586.1717, or Jeanette at 293.0788.
