1) Volunteer to help our efforts to protect the Charles River!

CRWA has many on-going projects that could use an extra hand, including our monthly water quality monitoring program which involves taking an early morning water sample once a month; researching grant opportunities to help support our innovative projects; and helping organize photos and slides of the river. For more information on any of these projects, visit our website at www.crwa.org/volunteer.html, or contact volunteer coordinator Rebecca Scibek by replying to this email or calling 781-788-0007 x200.  

2) Learn about industry along the Charles at our next brown bag lunch

This coming Tuesday, November 21, at 12:30pm at CRWA’s office, CRWA water sampling volunteer and history buff Craig Austin will give a presentation on the history of innovation and industry along the Charles River. It is sure to be an interesting and informative talk, and we would love to have you join us! As a reminder, there is more information about this and other upcoming CRWA events on our website at www.crwa.org/events/events.html

3) CRWA’s Annual Meeting is TOMORROW

If you’ve been thinking about coming to hear Bill McKibben speak tomorrow evening but not gotten around to signing up, this is your last chance! CRWA’s Annual Meeting will take place tomorrow, Wednesday, November 15, 2006, from 6-9pm at the Newton Marriott Hotel. A buffet dinner will be followed by presentation of CRWA awards, and then McKibben’s talk.
