Katherine Munson from SWFWMD was at our March 6, 2019 Club meeting to
talk about water conservation in Citrus County and Florida. She gave us a lot of
information on how to conserve water and tools to help conserve water. Over 50%
or more of a water usage is for watering lawn grass and plants.
President Michael Busler is giving Katherine a Rotary cup in the picture below.
President Mike Busler presented a check for $6,000 to Anthony Kopka for Daystar.
$5,000 was going to furniture for the the apartments for homeless & veterans.
Construction of the apartments has been delayed until some unknown future date.
This will help Daystar to be able to support their clients in 2019, Grants have become
more difficult to obtain for small charities like Citrus County Daystar.
Anthony and President Mike are shown below.
A new club member Kristen Nippers was in installed at our February Social
