National Drinking Fountain Appreciation Week!

The NDFA invites you to celebrate National Drinking Fountain Appreciation Week, January 28 through February 3.
We encourage you to take time this week, and think of all the services drinking fountains provide us, like hydration and relieving fatigue.

Norman: Your Friendly Neighborhood Drinking Fountain!

The NDFA now has an official mascot, Norman: Your Friendly Neighborhood Drinking Fountain! You can see Norman at all of the NDFA meetings, and we are arranging for him to appear at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. So be on the look out!
