Thank You from Our President

To our valued supporters,

I wanted to take a moment to thank you for helping to make 2013 an extremely successful
year for AWS! 2013 brought achievements such as helping to pass legislation to generate
funds to reduce pollution in our rivers and streams, and educating 3,000+ Washington,
D.C. area students through our environmental education programs. Click here for 
more information about last year's successes.

We have an exciting year ahead as AWS celebrates our 25th anniversary and prepares

Happy 25th Anniversary!

We are excited to announce that 2014 marks AWS's 25th anniversary! With the help
 of our members, partners, and advocates throughout Washington, D.C. and Maryland,
AWS is able to celebrate 25 successful years of cleaning and restoring the Anacostia
River! We are so grateful to those that have helped make this organization effective
and we look forward to continuing our work with the community in the coming years.

Highlights from the past 25 years:

* AWS has worked with more than 100,000 volunteers to plant nearly 31,800 native
 trees and plants, cleanup more than 1,146 tons of trash and debris, and remove 
56 acres of invasive plants from all along the watershed.
* We have educated over 30,450 students through original programs and trained 787
teachers from Maryland and D.C. to present our watershed curriculum to students.
* AWS has also been instrumental in implementing various policies to reduce sewage
and stormwater pollution in the river and helped pass bills to change behaviors 
resulting in positive impacts on the river.

and Founder, Robert Boone, and learn about our plans for the future!

Each year, Anacostia Watershed Society's Earth Day Cleanup brings thousands of volunteers
together with one goal in mind - restore the Anacostia River! This year's Cleanup
will take place from 9am - 12pm at 25 various sites in Washington, D.C. and Prince
George's and Montgomery Counties in Maryland.

After AWS staff and volunteers have completed cleanup projects at their respective
locations, we will gather at RFK Stadium's parking lot #7 to thank all volunteers
for participating. The celebration will be held from 12pm - 2pm and will feature
 lunch provided by Seafarers Yacht Club, live music by the reggae band Proverbs,
 guest speakers, and special Earth Day exhibitors.

This year, thanks to Two Wheeled Bike Valet, we will provide a secure and complimentary
bike valet service for volunteers who choose to bicycle to the RFK Stadium cleanup
and celebration site.

This plan contains detailed steps DDOE will take to investigate toxic pollution 
in the river sediments; the plan will take at least two years to complete before
 these serious pollutants can be cleaned up to make the river safe again for fishing
and swimming.

Attendees will have the opportunity to:

* Hear from environmental leaders and advocates about DDOE's plan and river cleanup
efforts
* Get questions answered by advocates and by DDOE representatives
* Become informed about why these efforts are important to all who live, work, and/or
play in the area
* Get information on other related issues in the region
