We are having great impact, even outside our watershed, because our group is getting state-wide attention in our persistent defense of our River. Thanks for all you do to defend the River, your voice is more important than ever. The three candidates for board positions, who were presented by the nominating committee to the annual membership meeting in January, were elected. The rest of the board quickly volunteered for various other tasks, and SMRF is off to a great running start for 1999. Kay Moore, who we have come to depend on for our financial advice, is helping us transition to a bookkeeping service for the quarterly financial reports, so that our treasurers can keep the checkbook and make deposits, but not have to do all the work that has become necessary as our organization's budget grows.

The Guadalupe River flooding pictured was unbelievable. Thanks to all those who came to lunch, not to speak of all the cooks, servers, and bakers for the event. SMRF served 100 lunches, and deposited a tidy sum in the Heritage Association's checking account, a small way to thank them for their years of financial support to SMRF . There is one 9x13 glass dessert pan left from the event, unclaimed, if a reader is missing one. Hundreds of participants, mountains of trash, lots of recycling done by Green Guy Kyle Hahn, lots of fun canoeing and shuttling donated by TG Canoes and Spencer Canoes.
