GOAL OF $180,000 FOR WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITIES UPGRADES

OLT members are the greatest people in the world! They believe in and have made a commitment to keeping Orient Land Trust and its holdings, among them our crown jewel – Valley View Hot Springs – the special place that it is forever. From the soaking ponds, the wildlife, the landscapes and pristine environment at the hot springs village, the nature trails, the bat out flight at the Orient Mine and the Everson ranch -- what's not to love? Our members have taken the important step to make sure that these things, and more, are preserved for future generations by becoming Members. Large capital infrastructure expenses, however, like the Wastewater Treatment upgrades, stretch OLT's Operational Budget to the max, thus our need for an Annual Appeal campaign to help fund these additional expenditures. Thank you for supporting this year's "Let's Potty" Annual Appeal by contributing to our mandated Waste Water Treatment upgrades. Your gift will help keep the Orient Land Trust/ Valley View Hot Springs debt-free from this large wastewater expenditure project that, while not glamorous, undergirds your OLT experience of serene landscapes and soothing waters with much needed renovations for life's basic necessities! Thanks for partnering with us.
