Join us at the Capitol for
Watershed Wednesday on January 28, 2015
Watershed Wednesday (WW) is an event that MWCC hosts during legislative years for watershed groups to come to Helena and table during the legislature. This is an educational opportunity to share the great work you do with our representatives. This year’s WW will be an afternoon session and MWCC will provide coffee and treats for legislators and staff. This event is also coordinated with MWCC’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Thursday, January 29th so that you can travel once for two great events. We hope that you will be able to join us. Travel stipends to these events are available.
If you are interested in attending this event please join us, and other watershed groups at the Capitol Rotunda from 2-4 p.m. For those groups who plan to table please note that setup will be between 1:15-1:45 p.m.
