Galena Rotary Roundtable - Videos Now Available

​Our water is in trouble and we are all in the same boat.  We need clean water for drinking and industry, and healthy ecosystems to support the life around us.  It is time for us all to jump in, learn about what can be done, and get going on doing it! 
 
On January 11, the Galena Rotary partnered with the League of Women Voters Jo Daviess County to hold a day-long conference at Eagle Ridge Resort and Spa in Galena.  This conference, titled “Water, We're all in the Same Boat” was part of the 30th Annual Galena Rotary Roundtable.   There was a series of excellent talks at this conference, most of which are now posted on YouTube for all who missed the conference.  Thanks to Robert Lieberman for the videos, and to all the speakers for their presentations!
