| Bags and trash are provided, you need to provide your own gloves and a sense of civic duty.

If anyone has some waterproof boots for cleaning the marshy stream edge, that'd be great too.

| 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.
