This year's Pond Tour benefits The Wright House, Safe Place,
and the Libraries of the Austin Independent School District. Past
beneficiaries include Safe Place, nature and water books for Libraries,
ponds at individual schools and a fountain at The Wright House. The
need has never been greater. Please help us to help others through
purchase of your Wristband.
