The DCVA annual potluck and membership meeting was held Sunday, March 30, 2008. Members shared a meal and renewed friendships at Healdsburg Villa Chanticleer. Following Board elections and a vote to insure our articles of incorporation meet IRS requirements for a 501 (3)(c) status, former President and new head of the Clean Water Coalition, Fred Corson, told the crowd about two Sonoma County Water Association projects that could seriously disrupt Dry Creek itself, ground water, and our wells.

March 2008
To the DCVA Membership:
It is hard to imagine that any of you have missed the ongoing concerns about the purity and availability of water not only in Dry Creek but throughout California. As you are also aware the Dry Creek Valley Association's mission is to protect and enhance our natural resources including its watershed. We are fortunate that among our membership there are a number of experts on environmental and water issues and that a contingent of those, including four with PhDs, are on our Natural Resource Committee. Despite busy careers they devote countless hours on our behalf ferreting out the details of environmental studies and the Sonoma County's Water Association's (SCWA) decisions affecting what comes through our faucets and soaks into our fields. |

Richard Kagel and the Legacy Fund
By Lou Preston
This Thursday I interviewed Richard Kagel on his vision for the Dry Creek Legacy Fund. DCVA Board Member Kagel is the Fund's instigator, innovator, and implementer. This memo is to tell what it and he are all about. If you have browsed this website you already know that Dry Creek Valley is in trouble. As Richard puts it, we are in the crosshairs of individuals and agencies that hope to capitalize on our resources. In the past it was gravel. Today it is water and its brooding flip side, waste water. |
