My Interests

A non-profit organization protecting your water. Website: BlackWarriorRiver.orgEvents and CalendarPhotos & Bios

I'd like to meet:

People from the Black Warrior River watershed, especially those who use it for fishing and swimming. Also those who use water for drinking, bathing, and other household uses. We would also like to meet any Americans who are interested in protecting this important, but abused, national treasure. Americans and Alabamians have a basic human right to clean water!

We throw lots of fun, charity parties so stay tuned for more info or visit our calendar: http://blackwarriorriver.org/calendar/index.php
