Disc golf at RCTC, 6 pm.


Bags and trash are provided, you need to provide your own gloves and a sense of civic duty.  We also have some kids that need wrangling, if anyone wants to help chaperone them to free up their parents for dirtier duties (this position isn't vital, as a nursing mom I usually can't wander too far away from kiddos anyway, but more assistance is always good).  If anyone has some waterproof boots for cleaning the marshy stream edge, that'd be great too.

Upcoming Meeting Crisis!

Well, not really a crisis, but we do need some meeting topics (& speakers) for 2015. We'd like to know what you want to see and hear about. Please email Tina or Jon G with suggestions for topics.
