Dear Friends:

On behalf of the Stroud Center Staff and Board of Directors, I am extremely pleased to announce that our new historical overview of the Stroud Water Research Center is now available. This "Portrait" of the Center attempts to highlight with pictures and text some of the major accomplishments and changes since our founding in 1967.

"Friends of the Stroud Center" have received the 48 -page book in the mail. And, we have made the "Portrait" available here online. See the navigation menu on the left.

If you would like a printed copy or know of someone who would be interested in receiving a printed copy, please contact Kay Dixon, Associate Development Director, at 610-268-2153 x247 and she will send it. Or you may indicate the name and address information by e-mail to: kdixon@stroudcenter.org and Kay will follow up. 

Many thanks in advance for taking the time to page through and share our proud history with us. Please know that we are now hard at work on various stream and river projects that will provide the substance for subsequent chapters.

Best regards,

Bernard W. Sweeney
Director

This book was made possible through the generous support
of the
Davenport Family Foundation
