Calendar preview: participate in the H2O Summit 2013
On Saturday, March 16, 2013, join the Montgomery County Department of Environmental Protection and the Washington Suburban Sanitation Commission for a day of presentations and activities focused on water! The Summit and Fair will be held at the Activity Center at Bohrer Park in Gaithersburg, Maryland.
Select from three morning tracks to learn more about preventing and lessening the impact of storm water. Hear about what the government and community groups are doing, and how you can help. In the afternoon, the Family H20 Fair will offer water-related activities indoors and out. Visit with event exhibitors -- including us, the Division of Solid Waste Services -- to get even more information about products and programs to help keep our environment and water clean.

But how do we fashion the future? Who can say how
except in the minds of those who will call it Now?
The children. The children. And how does our garden grow?
With waving hands—oh, rarely in a row—
and flowering faces. And brambles, that we can no longer allow.
All this in the hands of children, eyes already set
on a land we never can visit—it isn’t there yet—
but looking through their eyes, we can see
what our long gift to them may come to be.
If we can truly remember, they will not forget.
—Miller Williams, excerpt from “Of History and Hope”, read at the 1997 Presidential Inauguration
