From Bonnie Gannon, Development
Director....
Returning to my native New Jersey in 1998 after living away for 20 years,
I was pleasantly surprised to see, among much new development, large parcels of open
space. The Great Swamp watershed, in particular, encompasses an abundance of space
for hiking, biking, and enjoying in many other ways. New Jersey continues to be a
beautiful state - but we all need to work hard to keep it that way.
As GSWA's Development Director for a year and a half now, I continue to be
amazed at how much this organization does for our area. The staff, all part-time
employees, juggles an enormous workload that truly makes an impact on the quality of life
we all enjoy. Much of that work is summarized in the enclosed annual report.
As GSWA members, you help keep this work alive and growing, but more help is needed.
As you review the annual report and the other articles in Across the
Watershed, and as you continue to enjoy our watershed's resources, please consider
giving to our Annual Appeal, coming to you in the mail in December. This campaign is
essential to keeping our organization financially stable. Please give as generously
as you can.
Thank you. |
