Tomorrow! Tomorrow! I love ya, Tomorrow!

Hi All,

Just thought I would say my last word before we take off. I wanted to address a few last questions I’ve been given.

-Linens are available at the hostel but you will need to bring a bath towel if you plan to shower Sunday morning.

-Boots are pretty necessary. I don’t know what we would have done without them last year especially given the rainy weather. Maybe you could borrow a pair from a last year participant. I hear Walmart is selling them for less than $20.

-I’ll be doing all of the driving for the trip but if anyone wants to stay up to keep me company or to navigate, I would really love that! LOL

-I have run out of time this week to be able to fit in the movie with you guys this evening. Too many chores are calling my name before I leave Geneva for a week so I think I better take care of my personal business and get a good night’s rest. Anyone that is still planning on going to the movie can still meet at 6:35 pm in front of the FLI to gather and walk together.

-The van will leave AT 7:00 am so please be on time! If we are on schedule, we can fit in a stop for breakfast at Dunkin Donuts. Whatever you are up for! We will make a few bathroom stops and a lunch stop so if you want to bring snacks feel free to!

-There isn’t really a need to bring your laptops (we have very little room in the van) so please go without them if you can. I will bring a laptop for use by the team while at the hotel. Plus, I think the hotel has a business center for online access.

See you tomorrow morning at 7 am in Medbery Parking Lot….van #42.

-Sarah

 

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?
