I invite you to join us for the Earth Day Festival and Great Race for Saving Water on April 22. This year’s celebration includes a huge gathering of environmental and community health organizations, non-profits, businesses, youth and residents from around the Peninsula. There will be something fun for everyone – live music, food, arts and crafts, bike tours, bird walk, nature activities, raffle prizes, and of course, a chance to chase the “running toilet!” Please help us spread the word far and wide.
Thanks!
