Guest Speaker
Sr. Member Dennis Denoncourt introduced Erika Thorsell, Lake
Winnipesaukee Watershed Partnership to the club. A member of
Americorp, Thorsell has been working for the Partnership whose
goal is to protect water quality, sustain the region's natural,
recreational, and cultural resources, and to increase public
awareness and support for regional initiatives that enhance the
watershed. To help promote awareness they co-organize Celebrate
Your Lakes Day with the N.H. Department of Environmental Services;
implement the Watershed Steward Program, a project of the N.H.
Lakes Association; provide information and resources to the 80+
land homeowner associations in the watershed; and recognize exemplary
efforts to enhance the watershed. Thorsell, 2 years on the project,
presented a slide program with audio (she produced) outlining
the watershed situation.
