"The event will help township residents learn how to become positive contributors to the quality of drinking water in our town."

Millburn High School senior Marcy Levitan, along with members of the school's Environmental Club, has been actively in packages. Since 1947, more than 850 students trying to close the shortfall in their college funding package, have received awards from the Boosters totaling nearly $925,000. "For many deserving students, the challenge of assembling a financial package to attend college becomes more difficult each year," said Boosters president John Ward. "The cost of textbooks alone can reach upwards of $500 a semester.

"Just like death and taxes, we can depend on college tuition cost increases each year," Ward added. According to The College Board, tuition at public universities grew by 14 percent to an average of $4,694, while at private universities the increase was 6 percent to an average of $19,710. At the same time, states are spending less on higher education, an average decrease of 2.2 percent with some states cutting spending by 10 percent. Residents who would like to learn more about The Scholastic Boosters and its activities, or make a donation to the organization, should contact Ward at Millburn-Short Hills Scholastic Boosters, P.O. Box 42, Millburn, 07041.

"I want to make a difference in my community," Marcy said, "and AquaFest is an event that I can really believe in." She has taken AquaFest as her senior project and devotes many hours per week to planning and to recruiting sponsors. "Celebrating clean water" is the theme of the event, which will focus on many ways homeowners can have beautiful landscapes and comfortable lifestyles, and at the same time contribute less pollution to drinking water supplies and woodland streams. Those attending AquaFest will be treated to a hands-on, family-friendly and very likely wet day of water learning. In addition to door prizes contributed by township businesses and municipal agencies, there will be balloons, craft activities and games will be offered for children and adults alike.

Miss Frizzle from "The Magic School Bus" will make a guest appearance. Residents should bring their used batteries for recycling. AquaFest is free and open to the public.
