Tree Removal Reminder

[Ed.Mizzi]

We are still looking for volunteers to help with Stage 3 of tree removal at our observatory. All you need is a pair of gloves, good shoes or boots and a willingness to "chip" in to help YOUR club.

Date: Saturday Nov 4.

Work crews have already done most of the hard work over the summer. Now we have a giant pile of tree trunks and branches to clear up. We'll be renting an industrial "chipper" so, with enough hands, it should be easy work.

The fun begins at 10:00 and we'll work until we're done, or 3:00, whichever comes first. Even if you can only spare an hour or two, it will be a big help.

We'll have a BBQ and chefs on site to feed your hunger. How many will we be feeding? We hope.... quite a few.

Your service will qualify as "sweat equity" which means we'll wave the annual "key-fee". That means, if you qualify (member for 1-year, 19 or older, trained on equipment), you can have a key to use the observatory and we won't charge the annual $25.00 "key-fee".

Please let us know if you can give us a hand. Also, let us know approximately what time you plan to be there. Please contact:
