Friends of Nature is very proud to celebrate the well deserved appointment of our Founder Rudy Haase to the Order of Nova Scotia.
A special celebration will be held at the Chester Playhouse at 7:30 pm on Wednesday September 23, 2015.
The Playhouse will show a Neal Livingston produced film about Rudy’s life. This documentary captures Rudy’s youthful love of life and nature and will motivate many people for years to come tom be more active, socially aware and inspired to protect nature.
The event is by donation at the door to the Friends of Nature.
Many thanks to the Playhouse for hosting this celebration!
