Soundings <br />Opinions from the Board <br />Water Education: <br />A Joint Effort <br />The Freshwater Foundation Board of <br />Directors is an exciting and powerful <br />group of people, with a variety of interests <br />and concerns which make it a strong <br />board. I s.hare their concerns about water, <br />and so docs an organization of which I <br />have been a member for nearly 50 years, <br />the Garden Club of America. <br />The Garden Club of America has <br />always been very committed to civic and <br />educational projects. 1 hey are concerned <br />about water, and are now involved in a <br />three-year program with a focus on water. <br />During this special focus, they are trying <br />to do two things; help the members <br />themselves become more aware of water <br />issues and concerns, and help their <br />communities become more aware of tho.se <br />same concerns. <br />lt*s a wonderful thing to do. The <br />Garden Club of America represents 14,000 <br />inlluential people all over the country who <br />are getting organized, getting involved, <br />and serving as leaders for others to follow. <br />It is not necessary to be a scientist to do <br />some good (or water. Everyone can <br />contribute in easing a difficult situation. <br />Work can start right at home by using <br />less water around the house, or by <br />thinking about fertilizer needs before <br />houndation Hoard ,\teniher Polly Case <br />putting it on the lawn. <br />After the individual efforts have begun, <br />the next step is to do what the garden <br />club members are doing work with <br />others in an organized way to get <br />everyone concerned and involved. <br />The Freshwater Society has worked <br />closely with the Garden Club of America <br />in planning and developing programs and <br />educational materials. I am proud to be a <br />lembcr ol these two organizations <br />working as a team to help “keep our <br />waters usable." <br />'?»//1 <br />Polly Case <br />Mrs. Case has been a member of the l.ake <br />Minnetonka (iarden Club lor nearly .SO years.
