North Florida Springs Alliance Membership Application

As some of you may know I am the treasurer for the North Florida Springs Alliance (NFSA). We are looking for members and I have posted this web page with some of the pertinent information about the NFSA. The new NFSA is essentially the old Peacock Springs Citizen Support Organization (CSO). As of this week the NFSA has over $12,000.00 in its' checking account.

Linked above is the application form. The form also states the purposes, and objectives of the NFSA. Please print out this application, complete it and mail to: Jim Wyatt, NFSA; 27202 NW 203rd Place; High Springs, FL 32643

Benefits of membership include: Construction of walkways, and tank racks at places like Peacock Springs. We will publish a periodic e-mail newsletter outlining what the NFSA is doing.

The NFSA has a collection of tee-shirts for sale also. Many of you have purchased tee shirts from the rangers at Peacock, they are the tee shirts that the NFSA sells to raise money to work on projects such as those mentioned above. If you elect to join the NFSA and want a tee shirt simply add an extra $18.00 to your check for each tee shirt. Images of the tee shirts are below. Please make sure you indicate which style, color and size tee shirts you want. Please ensure your mailing address is legible on the application form.

We also have a tan Alligator shirt not shown, in addition to the colors shown.
