October 30th Recapture!

 We had another really great Recapture on October 30th!

A big thank you to all of the people who participated and helped, and of course to our sponsors: 

Domino's Pizza



Here's what we accomplished:
  • We removed over 300 pounds of trash and recyclables from the ponds, including two bikes, a tire, a ski, and over 13 bags of other trash and recyclables.
  • We filled out five pages of IOWATER test results.
  • We had over twenty kids and parents show up to help.
  • We had a great Capture the Flag game, and a party!

    Check out some pictures:
