Raritan Headwaters Association Announces 2015 Volunteer Awards

BEDMINSTER, N.J. - March 19, 2015 - PRLog -- Raritan Headwaters Association Announces 2015 Volunteer Awards

BEDMINSTER, New Jersey, Mar. 19th, 2015 – Nature united with art at the Raritan Headwaters Association’s (RHA) 2015 Member Meeting and Awards Ceremony on March 13th. Following a brief welcome by RHA's Executive Director, Cindy Ehrenclou, the congenial crowd enjoyed a gourmet buffet and the presentation of awards to volunteers recognized by staff for their significant contributions to RHA’s mission. The evening was capped off with an artist’s tour of the stunning nature photography of internationally published and award-winning photographer, Dwight Hiscano.

2015 Award recipients included Kathy Klink of Flemington for over 20 years’ involvement in RHA's stream monitoring program; Barbara Daniello of Pittstown for spearheading the Community Well Test program throughout Alexandria Township over 15 years ago; Steve Foster of Neshanic Station for his tireless efforts advocating, on behalf of RHA, for sound policies to protect our water and ecosystems; and Alan Rennie of Califon for 10 years as a dedicated educator in RHA’s WaterWays program.

“That was the best membership meeting yet! RHA is alive, vibrant, and inclusive,” said fellow volunteer and Trustee Suzette Dewey. “The volunteer awards were brilliant and beautifully done, and Dwight’s photographs were just right to remind us not only of the fragile beauty of NJ but of why we are all here working with this important organization to protect our water.”
