Events such as our approaching Charter Member Holiday Party are designed as opportunities for Aquarius Aquarium Institute supporters to learn more about our organization’s plans, programs and progress. While we have a lot of fun at our events, it is not so much about the party as it is about the networking that occurs at these …
As has been our practice to this date, our plan is to build and grow as the sponsorships, donations and grants come in. Our Charter Members keep the organization going, our outreach programs keep the community and our schools engaged and our volunteers are the smiling faces that help us get accurate facts out to the public.
As the school year winds down, the calls come pouring into the Institute phones.
