Leadership Circle
A new membership structure
| |
|
We have designed 5 new levels of membership that include a variety of benefits at each level. Rather than reaching out for sponsorship every time there is an event, we have developed ways for you to participate at every level. We feel this will streamline the process, save time, and provide you with the exposure you choose.
You will receive a letter with your invoice, when your membership comes due. This will list the levels of membership you can choose from. Just let us know what level fits your business. Please feel free to reach out at any time with questions. We look forward to serving you in a more simplified way and hope you find a level that works for your business.

March
Stormwater Tip of the Month
Spring cleaning is on our minds this March, so we thought we’d share some of our stormwater-friendly cleaning tips. As you start to reorganize, keep chemicals (i.e., fertilizers, pool chemicals, and anti-freeze for your car) in waterproof containers, storing them out of the potential path of runoff, and storing items under cover to prevent contaminated runoff. Visit your City’s Stormwater Management webpage (Buellton) to learn more about stormwater pollution prevention..
| |
Water Conservation Tip of the Month
Did you know that minor leaks account for over 1 trillion gallons of water wasted each year? Fix your leaks and celebrate Fix a Leak Week during March 18–24, 2024. Visit the Fix a Leak Week webpage for information on how to identify and fix leaks around your home and workplace.
