Help Virginia Save Our
Streams!
Virginia Save Our Streams is fortunate to have over 400 volunteer
water quality monitors who monitor hundreds of sites throughout Virginia.
Volunteer monitors donate thousands of hours of their time annually to
help protect Virginia's resources.
Despite these vast volunteer resources, Virginia Save Our Streams
relies on a small staff to provide training oversight and quality
assurance to make sure the data collected by our volunteer monitors is the
best it could be.
Please help us in our quest to protect these natural
resources!

Your Two
Cents Makes a Difference!
Did you know
that more money is printed daily for the game Monopoly than by the
U.S. treasury? If only some of that money could make a
difference for Virginia Save Our Streams. But guess what?
You can make that happen just by buying your games, toys, books, CDs
and everyday items at iGive.com. At the Mall at
www.iGive.com/VASOS, you get a free membership (no costs or
obligations) to shop at 400+ stores and without even knowing it,
you’ll be helping Virginia Save Our Streams at the same time.
So, instead of printing money, just find a little here and there by
doing a little shopping, and up to 26% of every purchase you make will
be donated directly to Virginia Save Our Streams!
