Thanks to the contributions of nearly 300 members who have pushed us over the top, the 2017 Annual Appeal thermometer is SHATTERED! As of mid-February, contributions total almost $23,000 – a significant increase over 2016's Annual Appeal - a clear measure of how important our ponds are to the citizens of Brewster. Just as important to protecting and improving pond conditions, many members have volunteered to play a role in one of the Brewster Ponds Coalition Action Teams. You will be hearing much more about these at our winter members meeting on March 4th, and how you too can participate. We are extremely grateful to those members who continue to support our efforts and to those who became new members of the Brewster Ponds Coalition. If you have not already renewed your membership for 2017, it's certainly not to late! Click here for membership information. Thank you again - together, we are all making a difference. Tom Vautin, President Thanks to 288 generous supporters, we've raised $21,190 in our 2017 annual appeal, 96% of our $22,000 goal! But we're not quite there; and if you've considered joining or renewing your Brewster Ponds Coalition membership, now is the time! Your tax-deductible donation could be the ONE to shatter our appeal thermometer! Your 2017 membership/contribution is critical to achieving our 2017 goals: - Create a science-based curriculum for local schools to develop the Pond Stewards of tomorrow; - Expand storm water remediation to hot spots in neighborhoods throughout Brewster using the new Pond Waterfront Improvement Guide; - Provide a voice for you before Town Boards considering new pond regulations; - Enhance the resource toolkit at the Brewster Ponds Coalition website; - Grow the BPC to a sustainable level with targeted Action Teams; - Plan more fun, social events on and near our beautiful ponds.. It's easy and secure to donate online, just click here! Thanks to everyone who donated to our annual appeal or volunteered for one of our Action Teams! And watch the NEWS/EVENT page for our next appeal update, which we hope features a broken appeal thermometer! |
