Dear Soque River Lover,
We know that your mailbox will soon be overflowing with holiday cards, so we wanted to let you know that many of you will receive a special letter from the Soque River Watershed Association soon.
In the spirit of the season we want to thank all of you who have been so generous to the SRWA this year. Please consider helping us end the year on a high note and strengthen our efforts to create a GREENER TOMORROW…..TODAY. By making an End of Year Donation towards our Conservation, Restoration and Sustainabiltiy programs you'll be helping us raise the green bar. We've set a very attainable goal to raise $3,000 before year's end.
Our dedicated Board of Directors and staff have offered to donate the lead gift totaling $250 so far. That's already 8% of the way to successfully meeting our challenge!
Local Sources of Support are by far our most important funding source, accounting for over 50% of our budget. The best thing about funding from the community is we can then focus these funds towards projects that are most important to you. That's why we're increasing on-the-ground vegetation projects like rain gardens, tree plantings, and restoration; investing time in expanding our Greenway Trails; and supporting sustainable land based businesses like our Locally Grown farmers market, our community garden; and a new cannery/community kitchen.
If you aspire to a GREENER TOMORROW……TODAY in 2012, please help us meet our challenge of raising $3,000 by the end of the year. This funding will support our work and ensure that Habersham County and a community of Soque River Lovers continues to raise the bar for Conservation, Restoration and Sustainability!
