Dear Friends,
I want to ask a very special favor of you, especially my friends who have chosen to support the cause of preserving the natural area at Burwell Creek in Rome.
Were it not for the efforts and expertise of the Coosa River Basin Initiative and the fine folks who work there our 80 acres at Burwell Creek would be far beyond the rescue that now seems possible.
I have been a member of CRBI for over a decade and a member of its Board of Directors for many of those years. I have tremendous respect for what this non-partisan group does to advocate for the preservation and restoration of our river basin. In my opinion there is no finer grassroots environmental organization anywhere.
Like all such groups CRBI has a constant struggle to raise the necessary funds to pay salaries and rent and all the other expenses of the organization. During the last couple of years CRBI has expanded its programs.
• Ask a child if Amos Tuck (The Fish Dude) has talked with their class or led them on a nature walk.
• Tag along on one of CRBI's many floats on our beautiful rivers.
• Talk to some of the children who have attended CRBI's summer camps or competed in the annual EQ Bowl (Environmental Quiz Bowl)
• Did you attend our first Green Gala to celebrate outstanding environmental efforts by regionla businesses, groups, and individuals?
• Did you see our David Tucker or Joe Cook speaking before the City Commission or planning commission, or some other group to promote the welfare of our watershed.

If many of us would go ahead and join or renew today it would be a tremendous boost to CRBI and simultaneously help them continue their work which is so essential to the cause of our Burwell Creek natuarl area as well. Please comment when you have joined or renewed to encourage all of us!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
