Thanks to all who donated time, efforts, goods and services to our AAQWA Dinner Dance on Aug. 21, 2004. Also, thanks to all who attended and helped make the occasion a grand success. A great time was had by all. Stay tuned for further community events sponsored by AAQWA.
Coming this fall, AAQWA will co-sponsor an information session with "Living on the Edge" www.livingbywater.ca . "All of us can play a role in helping protect, conserve or restore shorelines – and all of us benefit from the results of these efforts – healthy shorelines. Healthy shorelines help protect water quality, fish and wildlife habitat and provide wonderful spaces for our relaxation and enjoyment!" Watch this space for further details.
