Water Star Activity Lists

I have posted an updated draft of our Water Star Activity Lists. These list of activities (364 of them at present!) proposed to be a part of the Water Star program include all input collected at our two July Steering Committee meetings.

We have scheduled two additional meetings to edit and evaluate the activity lists, on August 20 and 21. Contact Suzanne Wade at SuzanneW@co.jefferson.wi.us for details.
