[RP TownTalk] Anacostia River Hero Awards

Wed Jun 1 15:02:16 UTC 2016

Hey there neighbors (and apologies to those getting duplicates of this
cross-post),

I wanted to draw everyone's attention to the Anacostia River Hero Awards, a
brand new honor that the Anacostia Watershed Society will be awarding this
summer.  It's a cash award of $1,000, and nominations are open until June 3.

AWS is looking for people who are doing things to help our community’s
environment be better, healthier and cleaner, so that all of us can benefit
from a restored, healthy Anacostia River and its streams. The categories
are:

   - Stopping pollution – keeping pollution and trash out of the Anacostia
   River
   - Advocating for a clean river – speaking up for what the river and
   streams need to be healthy
   - Connecting our community to the Anacostia River – sharing the beauty
   and potential of our river
   - Restoring nature – helping our environment thrive

Link for details:http://www.anacostiaws.org/anacostia-river-hero-awards

Full disclosure: I work for the Anacostia Watershed Society. I'm not big on
promoting personal work stuff... however, this one I thought was special.

Please share this email!  It's also the first article in the email below.

You guys might also be interested in our expanded paddle nights (last
article), which now has guaranteed spots on canoe and pontoon tours. Here's
the link for that:

Thanks all,
Maureen

*Anacostia River Heroes Awards: Nominations Due on June 3*
The Anacostia River has gotten much cleaner and healthier since our
founding in 1989 due to the hard work and dedication of thousands of
individuals across the watershed.

Help us to reward those members of the community who have been leaders in
getting us this far!

Please send us your nominations for the first annual Anacostia River Hero
