Saving the springs

[Kelly Jessop]

If I don't see some call to action or other effort for the springs, my NACD and CDS memberships will expire without renewal this year. Who is the Springs Alliance? Will they really do good or just cash my check?

Thank you for the inquiry.

The NFSA is a CSO that supports Madison,Peacock,Troy,and to some extent Ichetucknee and Lafayette Blue. A CSO was created by Florida legislation to be nonprofit groups that provide direct support of the parks. For example when you visit Peacock you will see the changing rooms,walkway to the spring,tank benches and Interpretive trail,and this was all done by us. Plus we host educational programs and socials as well. As a CSO we set goals at the beginning of the year with the help of our members and visitors of the park like yourself,and are committed to carry them out,and have to produce results. In reference to the threat of park closure we are 100% committed to addressing this issue,and have a plan in place. We will not let this issue go without having our voices heard loudly and clearly. The NFSA has grown to 160+ members,and this is huge in the eye of the state,and the bigger we become the larger voice we have to address issues like this. I am sure the NACD and CDS will address this issue,and in fact we would like to work with them so we can concentrate out efforts. Thank you.

Kelly thank you for the work that you all are feverishly putting forth on our behalf!
Please know that I am behind you on this and working to convince others as well.
As far as we are located away from north FL I would go crazy without the opportunity to dive the afore mentioned caves.
I am trying to get he word out to the LDS's up here to promote the NFSA.
Are their any posters or other information that I could distribute? I will continue to campaign for this cause and the NFSA!
