Departure TIME!

HI All!

So we are mere days away until our departure. I thought I would post our meeting time for this Saturday! I thought we should leave at 7 am so to get to Malabar Farm for the Maple Festival by 1 pm. The festival only runs from noon to 4 pm so I wanted to give us enough time to grab lunch, participate in the festivities, and maybe later go for a hike or visit the aviary. You can visit the Malabar Maple Festival information here to learn more. So let’s plan to meet at the big white HWS van in the Medbery Parking Lot at 7 am on Saturday, March 14^th.  

            As for Friday’s (3/13) movie night to see Ben Button, let’s all meet at the Finger Lakes Institute at 6:35 pm to walk together to the Smith Opera House. The movie begins at 7:00 pm and is fairly long. Could you please let me know if we should expect you? If there are no takers, we won’t go. Maybe everyone will be wanting to pack that night?

            Stacey, our HWS Campus Greens President, has worked very hard to make arrangements with the Coe College Sustainability Council to meet with us while we are in Cedar Rapids, possibly on Thursday (3/19) night. I think it is a great idea for all of us to participate in so let’s save the date! We’ll be able to share our greening stories and learn from their students as to what has worked for them.

            OK! Remember to pack light and in a duffle!!!! And remember your rain gear and rubber boots!

Did anyone become van driver certified as requested in your applications?
