Ms. Melissa Batchelder, Donations Manager
Working Assets Long Distance
101 Market Street #700
San Francisco, CA 94105
Dear Ms. Batchelder,
I am writing to nominate River Network to be a recipient of Working
Assets'
support in 2001. River Network is a national, nonprofit conservation
organization whose mission is to help people understand, protect and
restore
rivers and their watersheds.
River Network is the only national organization dedicated to providing
information and assistance to local river groups. Through its
publications,
workshops and professional staff, River Network is helping to build a
national river conservation movement. An investment in River Network is a
commitment to the growth and sustainability of grassroots organizations
across the country who are working to promote clean water and healthy
rivers.
If you would like further information as to why River Network should
receive your support - or if you have any questions - please feel free to
contact me.
Sincerely,
River McSaver
