March Newsletter | 2015

The Lower Brazos River Coalition is a grass-roots partnership

of concerned individuals, organizations, municipalities, ranchers

and farmers, environmentalists and conservationists, and

businesses and industries seeking fair and effective water supply

management of the Brazos River.

The Coalition advocates close scrutiny of proposals to hold

water in upstream reservoirs rather than releasing it for

beneficial use downstream - such as for local communities,

agriculture, energy, sportsmen, wildlife habitat, environmental

flows, and commerce.

5K BENEFITING YEA! Saturday, April 18th The Young Entrepreneurs Academy (YEA!) is a beneficial after school program that teaches local middle and high

school students how to start and run their own real business. Introduced to the Greater Angleton Area by the

Angleton Chamber of Commerce, YEA! students start the program as students and graduate as CEO’s of their own

company. With the help of local business professionals that volunteer their time and expertise in order to guide the

students through the program, it is now the third year and going

strong. In fact, one of our CEO’s competed in the national YEA!

Competition and won!
