Hi, Folks,

How swiftly the seasons change!  It seems so recently that the UU mile was under water; but now, after a verdant spring and luxuriant growth in summer, the Parkway is already showing signs of autumn- and also the trash that results from heavy use in prime-time.  We’ll have a chance to sort out the litter from the falling leaves this Saturday during our monthly cleanup.  It should be a lovely day; sunny, cool, a little breezy- just right for our purposeful walk in the park.

As is usual on each second Saturday, we’ll meet between 8:45-9:00 AM in the parking lot, next to the levee, at the end of Northrop Avenue off Howe Avenue, behind Panera.  We’ll sign in, obtain trash bags, and orient new folks.  With a good turnout, we should be able to finish in one hour and regather at the stairway at 10:00 for a photograph.  Then, if you wish: on to Panera for refreshments and conversation, perhaps with lots of interesting summer trip experiences to share.

I hope you’ll be able to join us!

Dave
