"Recently... [we] conducted a series of outings relating to the history and controversy surrounding the Los Angeles aqueduct. We visited the San Francisquito dam disaster site, we walked around Lake Hollywood and over Mulholland dam, we toured the Owens Valley and Mono Basin aqueduct sites and spent half a day exploring Mono Lake. The outings were designed partially as a fundraiser to benefit the Mono Lake Committee; to help further assist the successful work you have done to preserve this unique and essential lake from extinction. We applaud the steps you have taken to educate the public on waterwise conservation and for spearheading campaigns that have successfully provided solutions to benefit both the lake and the City of LA."
