THE 2009 ANNUAL POND TOUR

The Club's annual Pond Tour took place this year on Saturday, July 18th. It was a spectacularly successful event with perfect weather and nearly 600 visitors. Six pond owners in the southern peninsula area opened their ponds for public viewing. The ponds were selected to show a variety of sizes, surround and landscaping treatments, filtration systems and fish populations.

A big reason for the excellent attendance was the great advance publicity provided by the San Jose Mercury News, the Silicon Valley Community Newspaper organization (9 local papers) the Wave, The Metro, KGO Radio and many others.

We are very grateful to our friends in the media who did so much to make the public aware of this event.
