LMVP Volunteer Appreciation Event
On Saturday, April 19, the Lakes of Missouri Volunteer Program held an event in appreciation of its volunteers. This event marked the 16th year of sampling and featured educational presentations as well as a dinner reception.
The educational portion of the event was held at the Runge Conservation Nature Center in Jefferson City. Invited guests gave presentations throughout the day on topics such as:
aquatic plants, invasive species, effects of fishery on water quality, the impact of land use on hydrology, Weatherby Lake and the Lake of the Ozarks Watershed Alliance.
Various door prizes were given out, including a fish fryer, a gas card, dry bags, weather radio and camping equipment.
A dinner reception followed at Summit Lake Winery in Holt’s Summit.
You can see the full list of speakers and view the presentations here.
At the banquet, Lee Ray and Candi Lordo were awarded a GPS unit for their 16 years of committment to monitoring Missouri’s water quality. They started with the program in 1992, the very first year of sampling.
Volunteers who have been sampling for 5 years will receive a fleece pullover. Volunteers who have sampled for 10 or more years will receive a pair of binoculars.
