Currents September 2015

Did you know that the Great Lakes are the biggest freshwater source in the world? Lake Erie is the most productive for fishing of all the Great Lakes. Your support helps make our streams clean, clear and healthy so they can support this complex ecosystem. By donating to PCS, you help us reach our goals of restoring rivers that lead to Lake Erie beaches that promote fishable and swimmable conditions for generations.

changeforchangeChange for Change is a great opportunity for your CYS group to benefit our local rivers and streams. While Partners for Clean Streams is dedicated to the waterways of the greater Toledo area, we depend on your support. So as your group comes together for Clean Your Streams Day, we Challenge you to make some Change for Change.

This year, we want all participating groups and teams to pool dimes, nickels, quarters and pennies. Search under sofa cushions! Raid piggy banks! Empty car cupholders! Set out a jar in the office! Bring your Change with you to the Appreciation Picnic AFTER the cleanup. Each group’s collective Change will be weighed and compared to other team’s weights. The group with the heaviest amount of Change wins the Challenge and will receive a Mystery Award!

To get started, check out this flyer and cut off the bottom portion. Use that half sheet to attach to a jar that is set out in the office, passed around at meetings or in the lunch room. Just like every drop counts in our rivers, your change can add up. Take the Challenge, make some change and see how you measure up to other groups at the Clean Your Streams Appreciation Picnic.
