6th Annual Water For People Luncheon
Water For People (WFP) was founded in 1991 by
the American Water Works Association (AWWA).
The international, humanitarian organization focuses on improving the quality of life in developing
countries by supporting the development of locally
sustainable drinking water resources, sanitation
facilities and health and hygiene education programs. The San Diego Committee is proud of its
ongoing success in contributing to the organization, thanks to the continued support of San Diego
-based individuals, businesses and public agencies that have taken initiative to get involved both
locally and internationally.
On October 23rd the San Diego Committee of Water For People (SDCWFP) will be hosting our
Sixth Annual Luncheon at the Admiral Baker clubhouse. This is a beautiful clubhouse located along
the Admiral Baker golf course and offers some
pretty vistas and enough room for our local supporters. Our theme this year is the Current of
Change, a look at the development of the Everyone Forever campaign which works in district wide
planning with local municipalities and communities. Your local Water for People committee has
also learned a thing or two in the last five years
and expects this to be our best effort yet.

of what is happening on the ground in countries
where we work, he never fails to capture attention
and some laughs. Whenever Gerard speaks of his
work with WFP he is able to instantly generate
enthusiasm and a focused wake up call to end
water poverty.
The all volunteer San Diego Chapter holds fundraising events several times a year. All are welcome. For the October event, registration form
