 | Work continues on the River Trail. The next Work Day has not yet been scheduled but will be prior to the 2015 Annual Meeting on Saturday February 28. If interested in working, contact John Thalacker at johnathalacker@gmail.com The planned improvements that day include construction of two benches along the trail, seating at the Suwannee terminus, sweeping of the boardwalks, cleaning of the display and tree markers and removing trash that has floated in from the river and is visible from the boardwalk. The last Work Day was Tuesday, February 3. Board Members John Thalacker and Ed DeHaan along with Refuge equipment operator George Pelt spread a thick layer of limestone on the path from the parking lot to the trail and on the trail itself to cover emerging roots and irregularities on the path. While two members who had volunteered could not attend due to work and other commitments on the 3rd, it is hoped they and others will be able to attend the next time. |

I tried to email Mr Thalacker directly, got an error/non-deliverable message back. Anyway, I can work the morning b4 the annual meeting unless you'd rather not have someone who (1) has some shoulder issues so can't do some things but can do many others; (2) will want to take some restroom breaks. Mr Thalacker or whomever can email me at the email address I've provided. Tell me where & when to show up. I'm staying in CK.

Hi Ann. Sorry about the email not working. We will check that and fix it in the post so others do not have the same problem. John will get in touch with you. Thanks for letting us know about the broken email link. And, thanks for the help with the trail! Leave a Reply. |
