Texas Border Business –
Celebrate the 9th Anniversary of Quinta Mazatlan at Moon over Mazatlan on Thursday, March 19th, 6:30 pm to 9:30 pm with dinner and a concert in the park! It will be a marvelous night beginning with the Melodies in the Woods trail walk, Dinner & Drinks in the Courtyard, and a Piano Concert on the North Lawn. This year’s fundraiser is dedicated to the creation of Ebony Grove, transforming a four acre tract of land into a sanctuary teeming with wildlife, with your support.
The Piano Concert on the North Lawn will feature Nina McIntire, Concert Pianist. Nina is an extraordinary musical talent from Russia and will present her latest project “Ivory Fantasy”. For the evening finale Richard Moore will unveil a commissioned multimedia show titled “Sunrise over the Thorn Forest” with stunning photography from the Rio Grande Valley paired with the musical works of Nina McIntire. The earth has music for those who listen, is a quote by George Santayana and sets the mood for the evening.
The first phase of Ebony Grove includes the planting of 50 large Ebony Trees and the creation of a wildlife pond and creek. The next phase of the project includes the creation of the underforest with native plants, trails, palapas and benches. Ebony Grove will be a place providing the 4 basic elements that wildlife need: food, water, cover and places to raise young. In addition, Ebony Grove will be a place for children, families, birders and tourists to enjoy nature in the city.
The McAllen World Birding Center delivers environmental science curriculum programs to over 10,000 students annually, plus stewardship programs for many adults.
Please join us in becoming part of ”Ebony Grove” by sponsoring an engraved bench, trees, plants and trails. Your gift of a sponsorship will bring nature home! Individual tickets are $100 and will be mailed to guests in advance; tickets will not be available at the gate.
