Subject: "Thanks" from Friends of the Middle River

Season's Greetings
&
Thank You for being an FOMR Volunteer

 

With your help, FOMR had a great 2014:

     -  We completed our benthic monitoring at nine locations  along Middle River in the spring, summer and fall.

     -  In the spring, we held classes to train more benthic monitors.
     -  We sponsored a booth at Earth Day in Staunton in April.

     -  We participated in several events at Kites 'n Critters in Staunton in April.

     -  We sponsored a Bird Walk/Canoe Float along a stretch of Middle River in April

     -  We held a family "Critter Catch" day along Middle River near Ft. Defiance in June.
     -  Our annual "Splash 'n Dash" canoe/kayak race was held near Ft. Defiance in August.  Here is Nathan Moore's video of the event.

     -  Our annual "Friends Fest" barbeque picnic along Middle River near Verona in September was well attended.
     -  In late September, 80 volunteers helped with Middle River Clean-up Day - six miles of Middle River, 1 1/2 miles of Lewis Creek, and most of Asylum Creek were cleaned-up that day.  Many thanks to our corporate sponsor Virginia Eagle Distributing.

In 2015, we plan to build on the success we had in 2014, and we hope we can count on your continued support as a  volunteer in 2015.  
We wish you the best this Holiday Season and throughout 2015.
