Today was full of adventures.


Team LEAF went down to Wentzville, about 45 minutes out from Saint Louis, and gave a presentation to the Wentzville city council. About ten board members were present there, all with a background in storm water runoff. The meeting went well - all of the board members were very interested, and we got great questions. One of the board members who does a lot of work with landscaping, and recently with rain gardens, offered for us to help plan and design rain gardens for current and future projects! That was definitely the highlight of the meeting. Also, Flora from SciFri got back to us and said she would check out the site. We hope that our e-mails are working their way around. Thank you to everyone who has been so supportive in spreading the word! More later. TL

  1. It's short for Science Friday. See Below.

    Science Friday is a weekly science talk show, broadcast live over public radio stations nationwide from 2-4pm Eastern time as part of NPR's 'Talk of the Nation' programming. Each week, we focus on science topics that are in the news and try to bring an educated, balanced discussion to bear on the scientific issues at hand. Panels of expert guests join Science Friday's host, Ira Flatow, a veteran science journalist, to discuss science - and to take questions from listeners during the call-in portion of the program.

  2. Also, kind of an interesting side note / off the topic discussion...

    CNN and 60 Minutes the past couple of days has talked about how the First Lady just planted a vegetable garden with some local students on the South Lawn...If only we could get the white house to build a rain garden....or if only we could build a rain garden on the white house. How awesome would that be?
