Gee, thanks, Rich, for volunteering me for this new project while I was at work
and unable to defend myself! 8-0
You need to know, however, that I have to drop my son off at his summer
day camp by 10:00 am and pick him back up again by 3:00 pm. I don't
know if I will be able to get to Rt. 66 park by 10:00 am. 30 to 35 kids
will require at least 7 volunteers to help out. Do you really think
that that many will volunteer on a wednesday in the middle of a work
day?
Sarah

Subject: [GeoStL] WOW at Forest Park
We had a great time today and everyone seemed very enthusiastic about
caching. Good weather, free food; what could be better! Dancing Strawberry and
Bingo even stopped by to visit.
And thanks to Jack, Jim, Steve, and Stephen, for helping out and
making sure everyone had a good time. And Paul was there doing podcast and
taking pictures. And now the State Parks want to start pushing geocaching in
state parks, even to the extent of maybe co-sponsoring MOGA which would
eliminate the insurance costs. I talked with the person from JC who is in
charge
of events and activities with the park system. she is very enthusiastic about a
big caching event.
I'll be out of the office starting early tomorrow for a while on a
non-geocaching vacation :-( But, after our work today, we have been requested
to
do another event at Rt. 66 park on Wednesday June 20th from 10AM-12noon on
geocaching, just like we did today. Unfortunately, I can't participate since
I'm
doing a geocaching presentation for the rotary Club on Wednesday, but Jim
nominated Sarah to help and Stephen volunteered to help again. There will be
30-35 7th graders (12 and 13YO), so a few caches need to be hidden, GPS WP's
loaded (will get the yellow eTrex loaners again from MDC), and helpers to
handle
smaller groups to hunt the caches. So please contact Sarah (or Jim) if you can
help on Wednesday as she will need to coordinate everything. Sorry for the
short
notice but this just came up today. The lady that is handling the event at Rt66
attended one of our session today and really enjoyed herself and thought it
would be a fun thing for the kids.
Over and out;
Rich
