Greener Landscapes Greener Water

Dear Edward,

I have met with the Santa Rosa City Utilities Dept. representative Jennifer Burke regarding the use of recycled water for our outdoor irrigation. Santa Rosa recognizes the need to conserve drinking water and to make good use of treated water if we are going to have a viable water future. This is a good way to overcome a lot of the drought potential we face as a community.

The city plans to run a new recycled water line down Occidental Rd. in 2010 and this would be the time to hook up to it. There would be no cost to us for any of the new plumbing or the connection into our irrigation system, which involves adding another water meter. We would receive approximately a 10% discount on the recycled water flat rate fee and 5% discount on actual usage. Jennifer is going to get back to me with solid numbers in the near future.

This program would be in keeping with our goal of supporting “green” living and the conservation of the earth’s resources. It will mean some record keeping for my department and some training for me about how to handle a recycled water system, but there is no cost to us.

We're Passing the Baton, is it to you?

We have mentioned before that we are intending to gradually scale back on bookstore duties and eventually step down completely. We are actively seeking people to help in the following areas: advertising, computer skills (Excel, Word), social media, graphic art (creative signage), special events, deep cleaning and the BIG ONE...retail management and retail buying skills. Passing the baton Yes, we wish to pass on the management of the store to new volunteers, preferably a manager and assistant manager (or perhaps a management team). In this store's management, the most important and time-consuming tasks are ordering product, input of product and managing the product. We would train and continue to advise (if necessary) to ensure a smooth transition of leadership in the two basic areas of gift items and books. For a while, we wish to retain the decorating portion of managing the store. Managing the store is a HUGE responsibility, but the rewards are ten...

Meet your extraordinary Board Trustee and Treasurer, Karen Hatten.
