| THE
MAUMEE RAP NEEDS YOU! |

The Maumee RAP is looking for enthusiastic
individuals and organizations with a desire to improve the water quality
of the Maumee River and other area streams that flow into Maumee Bay and
western Lake Erie. The
Power of Partnerships has been an integral component to the success
of the Maumee RAP.
Your involvement and input are extremely important to the RAP process
and its continued success. Please see the list of activities and
meetings under What's
Happening? to find out how you can get involved. Contact the person

The Maumee RAP needs more than just help in each of its action
groups. It needs volunteer coordinators to run several key projects.
