Thanks to Holiday Party donors and volunteers

Thanks to everyone who made the Great Waters Group Holiday Party and Fundraiser a success! We were thrilled to be back in person and see so many new faces!

Thanks also to Aladdin for the dinner, delicious as always.

We are grateful for our DJs for spinning the tunes during the party -- Andy Penkalski and Jim Kujawa.

Many volunteers made this a success, but especially Kerstin Larson, Janet Anderson, Jane Schneider and Chris Zapf.

If you missed our only fundraiser of the year, you can still donate here. The money goes to support our printed newsletter, monthly programs,  The African American Environmental Pioneers Awards, Earth Day events, and other things.

We hope to see you at the party next year -- and at a program or outing before then.
