Dear Friends of Buford,
Please join Friends of the Desert Mountains and many others to celebrate the life and accomplishments of our founder, College of the Desert professor, and former Palm Desert Mayor Buford Crites.
We will lead a Memorial Hike beginning at 9AM. Celebration of Life begins at 11AM, followed by lunch on Friends’ patio to share memories and swap stories of this irreplaceable conservationist, educator, and friend to many. We ask you to RSVP so we know how many to expect.
Parking is limited, we recommend carpooling. Both lots at the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains National Monument Visitor Center will be open.. If you need special assitance, please contact Tammy Martin, tmartin@desertmountains.org
In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to Friends of the Desert Mountains in honor of Buford Crites.
