In the early 1960's, Marion Stoddart moved near the Nashua River in Massachussetts. The Nashua had become the dumping ground for a series of paper plants and was one of the most polluted rivers in the country.
Over the course of the next two decades, Stoddart led a citizen crusade to clean up the Nashua River, working from the local grassroots up to the federal level to guarantee a swimmable river.
It's an inspiring story of the difference one person can make when they decide to solve a problem and won't take "no" for an answer.
"Work of 1000" is an award-winning 30 minute film about Stoddart's story. Our friends at Missouri River Communities Network are hosting a screening of the film, along with a personal presentation from Marion Stoddart.
Come meet this inspiring woman and share in her story!
