It's that time again. Time for me to extoll the virtues of Watershed Management Group and put out the call for donations for our summer fundraising campaign. Full disclosure up front - I am the current vice-chair of the board of directors for WMG. I don't make any money doing this, but I derive great personal satisfaction from watching their success.
If you haven't heard my spiel before, WMG is a fabulous non-profit based here in Tucson, Arizona that does work, currently throughout Arizona, in Southern California, in Sonora, Mexico, and in India and more recently in Burkina Faso. Several of those locations are places where we have only begun working within the last two years, largely because of the strength of the individual donors who support the organization. WMG has been growing by leaps and bounds because there are many people who support the great work they do, but also because there is such a huge need out there for growth of community-based programs to give people the tools they need to become better stewards of their resources.
That need continues to grow and hopefully WMG will be able to continue to grow to satisfy that need. But they can only do it through the support of like-minded people. And I'm certain there are at least a few of those people who read this blog. And if you decide you like what the organization does and think there is a need for them to take on work in your community, send me a note or contact them through their website to see if there is an opportunity to expand there. Or you can participate in one of their great training programs and learn how to do this sort of work yourself and teach others the same skills.
Check out this link for info on how to support WMG. And if you are able to make a contribution this week a generous match from one of our donors will double your support. Please do what you can. Thanks.
