Stream Team Exhibit @ La Russell/Bowers Mill Reunion

La Russell Stream Team #2945 was invited to set up an exhibit at the 28th annual La Russell/Bowers Mill Reunion, on Sunday, September 14, 2008, beginning at 1:00 pm. The press release said that the "La Russell Stream Team #2945 will display photos, news letters, critters, and research graphics from its year of activities; Stream Team t-shirts will be available for new members."
It was a great opportunity to share information with 50+ La Russell residents about water quality monitoring, high water events, bacteria test results and vandalism at the La Russell Access Point. There were 13 La Russell Stream Team #2945 members in attendance. We recruited 5 new members during the event. Oh, and did I mention that the food was delicious.

NOTE: The La Russell/Bowers Mill Reunion picnic was written up in the Missouri Stream Team March-April 2009 Newsletter, called Channels, [page 3, The Riffle Review, under Stream Team #2945].
