Mystic Water Gardens - Volunteers ?
A promotional U-tube presentation for Mystic Water Gardens. Most will recognize Jeff. The clip is well put together and provides a good sense about what water features are about.
FYI - I may be making only a few posts over the next month as I strive to look after a few other committments. Maintaining a business has it's demands ... and I love looking after all of them ... but we have no one else to allocate those responsibilities to at this time. Many public agencies rely on volunteers to fill gaps - and they do a fantastic job. I have seen many keen people, talented and having the right characteristics to assist in important duties. Now I know this is not a public agency - but we offer a big service to everyone and the blog is free. Our DFL blog is included. An open question - Are there any volunteers who would like to manage one of the blogs. I won't give away the keys to our web site - but I would like to see much more interest in the blogs - or at least get some feedback as to what could be changed. Maybe there isn't the interest some perceive? But then I do have a tendency to be just too anxious. I will look after things until the right person - at the right time comes along.
Til next time ... Len
