Welcome to the first edition of the Save the Water™ Newsletter. In this issue we bring you a concise snapshot of the most interesting news posted in the previous month as well as interesting developments and progress of this nonprofit organization.
The first great news to report is the completion of our newly revamped web site presently containing over fifty pages of informative water news that will continue to expand daily. It has been completely re-designed and optimized to become one of the most comprehensive and informative web sites on the net about water and water contamination issues. We have added new photos, media, and a brand new educational department that grows daily encompassing views of some of the world’s most prominent leaders in the scientific community and their findings. These new additions will help students understand our present water crisis and perform research on water, quickly from one source. We have also added pages to our blog, current sponsors, past contributors, and a link exchange.We invite you to take a look at “Who We Are”and “What We Do” to get an an overview of the organization. We have also divided the news into six categories so that you can easily find the subject of your interest. In the national news, fracking for natural gas is contaminating water wells in northern PA. We need the energy from natural gas, but what good is it if we poison the very users of the energy. The old saying, “the lights are on but nobody is home” may become a fact. Fracking companies must find a way to remove the gas without water contamination. Read articles about fracking in the news section of the STW™ web page. Anthony Kozuh has joined our staff as Fund Raising Director and Webmaster. He brings a wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm to the group and is commended for the expedited creation of the new web site. Welcome Anthony, we pray for you and the great projects you will accomplish at Save the Water™. Gloria, has more than 20 years of experience as laboratory director, and 10 years of experience serving as a professor of organic chemistry in the majors of marine biology and food engineering of the University Jorge Tadeo Lozano, Colombia. This month we invite you to take a look at our projects and help us with donations and sponsors. The progress and success of a nonprofit has a lot to do with “who you know” and we look forward for our members to introduce STW™ to people of influence who can help obtain the funds for the humanitarian projects and the Save the Water™ laboratory. Save the Water™ is looking for a newsletter editor.The position includes the responsibility of reading internet news about selected water topics and re-posting to the STW™ web site and social media. Reporting on current STW™ events and development of the newsletter. Sincerely, |
