Thank you to the IRWP membership committee for a successful Appreciation Day event held June 6 at Lake Fayetteville's Veteran's Memorial Park. Over 100 people came out throughout a beautiful day to participate and enjoy.

Very Special Thanks:
To over 400 IRWP VOLUNTEERS for StreamTeam monitoring, The Riparian Project, Mud Creek and Osage Creek cleanups and support of the IRWP mission. 

Special Thanks also to:
Gene Pharr, Jennifer Michaels, Susan Bolyard, Katie Teague, Dirk Philipp, Trish Oeui, Sophie Morrison, Jennifer Asbill, Melinda Haak, Colene Gaston, Mike Faupel and Marshall Mitchell 

Many thanks to the Board, members and friends for supporting this year's IRWP Appreciation Day event. The 2009 Illinois River Watershed Appreciation Day was for the purpose of recognizing the work and contributions of our volunteers and taking time to enjoy our watershed together.
