Imagine H2O in San Francisco

I've done a bit of volunteering with an organization called Imagine
H2O. Imagine H2O is a nonprofit that empowers entrepreneurs to turn
global water challenges into opportunities. The organization incentivizes
entrepreneurs to develop water businesses by holding an annual business
plan competition and then incubate the businesses until they develop
into successful water companies. Our first competition has just ended
and we will be awarding $75K in prizes to the winners at our Showcase
event on March 11th from 7-9PM.

I would love it if you could come to the Showcase. There will be great food and wine, you will hear
from the entrepreneurs that won the competition (they have some very
exciting business ideas), and John Bohn, the Commissioner of the Public
Utilities Commission, will talk about California's diverse water
challenges.
