All,
The River needs your help. See the Charles River Clean Up Boat's note below and consider making a donation or scheduling time to give them a hand. The link to their website is in the message below.

As you may know, the Charles River Clean Up Boat (cleanupboat.org ) is a 501c3 non-profit organization that has been operating since 2004 and has been responsible for helping to make the Charles River one of the cleanest urban rivers in the country.
Our boat, which is completely operated with volunteer help, cruises up and down a 7+ mile stretch 4 days a week from April to October. We pick-up floating debris which over the years has amounted to tons of trash. The clean up boat operates entirely on donations to maintain the boat and its motor and to pay for the gasoline required to run. Its is staffed by volunteers on a daily basis. No one receives a salary.
Throughout the years, organizations that use the river or that benefit from its beauty have been our generous contributors. Many of the boat clubs, the private rowing houses, the duck boats and the cruise lines have generously given to the mission. Additionally, we have received assistance from some universities and companies that are housed on or near the River.
While many River uses have contributed to the work, still others have never given or have become lapsed donors. We would appreciate it if you could publish this email and connection to our website (cleanupboat.org in your news blog. As we approach the end of summer , we still have along way to go before we meet our annual budget goal. Thanks for your help.
Sincerely,
Michael J. Bello
Clean Up Boat Volunteer
