LUSH Cosmetics and Friends of Nevada Wilderness: working together for Gold Butte

Friends of Nevada Wilderness has teamed up with the very generous folks at LUSH Cosmetics to work for the protection of Nevada's piece of the Grand Canyon: Gold Butte. Saturday, August 27, we kick off our Gold Butte Campaign at the LUSH Cosmetics Store at the Mandalay Bay Resort on the shinning Las Vegas Strip.

When: Saturday, August 27th from 1:00 to 5:00 pm.

Where: LUSH Cosmetics Store at the Mandalay Bay Resort

Come on down to the store and sign a post card (or letter) of support for the designation of Gold Butte as a National Conservation Area with Wilderness.

You could win some fabulous skin-care products for signing a card or letter of support. The good folks at LUSH will raffle off some of their great natural products, and your card or letter is your entry into the raffle. Note: it is rumored that Friends' Southern Nevada director, Kurt, is very fond of LUSH Charity Pot Skin and Hand Cream.

LUSH also has a few surprises in store (as well as skin and foot treatments for our hardworking volunteers). So, join us for a wild time at the Mandalay Bay and make a difference for Gold Butte. There is a party goin'on!
