Our Region’s Water Lifeline
With the mission of restoring and maintaining one watershed’s quality, the Nimishillen Creek Watershed Partners have brought together residents, businesses, schools, colleges and public officials with a common purpose.
“Watershed groups are important because the problems of a stream are reflective of everything that takes place in its basin,” said Eric Akin, watershed coordinator for the Upper Tuscarawas River Watershed. “If you want to make changes to the water quality, you need to understand as much about the watershed as possible and that takes a collaborative effort…” Read more Part 3 of Water Webs by Mariana Silva

I looked at the concert calendar for Greater Cleveland and over the next four weeks four shows at three different venues highlight a busy August concert scene. They represent four different genres of popular music, all three acts were outstanding on their last visits to Cleveland, and all would be good reasons to also check out the venues… Read more from Greg Cielec here
My good friend and loyal reader Ward Pallotta found the following tidbit of information and thought that it might be of importance (or at least of amusement) to the non-profit community: The U.S. Tax Court recently ruled that a foundation which gives free sperm to women doesnt qualify as a tax-exempt organization.

Had you been on the ground (or on the water) with the rest of us, you’d have been so proud! You fought hard to keep Whiskey Island for your city’s inhabitants to use for their enjoyment, and last Thursday was the perfect night for such enjoyment…
