Meeting: Monday- March 14, 2011
I hope that everyone had a great time at our social event on Sunday. Thank you for organizing this event, Hamilton!
Announcements:
- The club has 20 tickets to Terpsichorean (dance group & concert) on April 2nd at 7:00 PM. Let's take advantage of this opportunity to meet for dinner and enjoy a fun program.
- The club has a blog and a LinkedIn page. Please use them both to increase awareness of our efforts and to the level of involvement in our club.
Brian Lewis with the James River Association talked about their role in preserving a scenic beauty, drinking water, and quality of life. Their role is to engage people and educate them to maintain our beautiful surroundings in a good state.
JRA Programs include:
1. Education and Outreach- developing next generation of James River guardians
2. James River Keeper- their job is to be eyes and ears for the river
3. River Advocacy- serves as a voice for the river on important issues
4. Waterfront Restoration: Extreme Stream Makeover volunteer group that designs and implements projects to support the clean-up, and long-term health of the James river watershed. WE NEED 10 VOLUNTEERS so we can be assigned a project of our own. Email Cleon for details.
They commit to take care of these projects for one year. After one year, they have to rely on volunteers to keep maintaining these sites.
