On Wednesday, May 25, we celebrated our 5th Annual Watershed Milestones Awards & Reception with over 200 friends, guests, sponsors, and honorees. It was an inspirational evening of celebrating the year’s achievements with heroes from across our entire TTF community!
We were especially proud that Globe Dye Works owner Pete Kelly welcomed us and that Water Commissioner McCarty shared her encouraging words about our work. Thank you to Anthony Bellmon of Representative Boyle‘s office and Elizabeth Trout of Representative Steve McCarter‘s office for bringing certificates of recognition for our heroes.
We are proud to have honored Tom Manns, Latinas in Motion, and our most dedicated Streamkeepers as Friends of the TTF Watershed. Read about all these wonderful folks here.
