Fort Wayne Celebrates Earth Day

Fort Wayne, Ind.- This year, Earth Day is being celebrated at Cinema Center Tech on the campus of Indiana Tech. On Thursday, April 21 at 7:00pm, the public can enjoy a free evening at Cinema Center Tech and view two half-hour films, Fate of a River: Apathy or Action (1965) & Fate of a River: Revisited (2000). Attendees can learn about the condition of our Maumee River watershed in the 1960s and how it has improved in the past 40 years. Before the films, the public can visit booths of local environmental groups; afterward a panel of local stakeholders will take questions and foster discussion about water quality.

The event and refreshments are free and sponsored by Cinema Center, Indiana Tech and the Allen County Partnership for Water Quality.

The Allen County Partnership for Water Quality was created in 2002 by the City of Fort Wayne, City of New Haven and Allen County, with a mission of better educating residents about our water resources. This program, and others sponsored by the ACPWQ, is free to the public.

Cinema Center Tech is located in Andorfer Commons on the Indiana Tech campus at 1600 E. Washington. For more information about this event, contact Allison Van Zandt with the ACPWQ at 484-5848 ext.111.
