We have been fortunate to work with the Office of Water <br />Conservation and Drought Planning (OWCDP) in the past, bringing <br />water conservation education to hundreds of appointed and elected <br />officials, water planners and managers, and other interested citizens <br />across the state supported generously by Office through its water <br />efficiency grant program. <br />GWI is looking to continue its successes in educating Colorado's citizenry <br />by supporting Project WET over the next two years as it trains and <br />provides K-12 teachers with content related to water supply, water use, <br />water conservation and general water issues in Colorado. To this point, <br />GWI will provide cash funding for at least two teacher training events up <br />to $5,000. GWI will also provide volunteer support to facilitate teacher <br />training efforts, develop curriculum and organize speakers and field trips <br />donating 40 hours over the same period of time, at a value of $100 per <br />hour, for an additional cost of $4,000. Therefore, GWI will donate a total <br />of $9,000 to the implementation of the Project WET water efficiency <br />grant request. <br />Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or need further <br />information. <br />Sincerely, <br />T cy ouvette <br />1Jxecutive Director <br />cc : ~ .
