In Wellington

 John and Karen Klopp opened their home in Wellington to celebrate 30 years of the Everglades Foundation. KK welcomed the crowd, "You will hear more about the accomplishment from Erik Eikenberg, the most dynamic conservation CEO in the country.  The Foundation is mission driven and science based.   It creates dynamic partnerships and consensus over the broad reaching issues of clean water that affect all of us.  Take a few minutes to get lost on their website and you will be amazed."   Jack Lynch, Vice President of J. McLaughlin has partnered with The Foundation creating capsule collections for the last six years.  In addition to funds, they have raised awareness at in-store campaigns all over the state. To celebrate the occasion, KK created a signature cocktail, the Everglades Splash!
