After we finished our talk, the leader of the committee told us that we had reminded them of our community's obligation for taking care of the pond and island and that before our talk they didn't realize there was a problem.
After we left the meeting, the committee voted to make the island restoration a 1999 project. They voted to spend city money and rebuild the island to it's original size. We cheered when we heard the news of their decision!!!!!
In a thank you note to our class the committee said:
"You all are doing a great job! Great research! Because of your presentation, the Sunnyside Island Project is a 1999 goal! Thank you for caring about the animals and the island. Your research and involvement will serve our community well for years to come!"
