Riverlea Environmental Society Working Bee
The last weekend working bee for 2014 is this Saturday from 1-3 pm. Meet at the Malcolm St end of the boardwalk. Please bring loppers if you have them and wear sturdy shoes, gloves. Long sleeves are a good idea because it can get scratchy.
We will be removing weeds (plus chatting, getting exercise and soaking up some nature).
A question: who would be interested in doing Wednesday evening working bees, just for an hour or an hour and a half each week? It's a cooler time of day and it might be easier for some people than Saturday afternoons. You could consider it your 'green prescription'!
We are just thinking about it for the summer months while the days are long and hot.
Please let me know if you would come to the Weds ones if we ran them.
Best wishes,
Andrea

Weston A Price Foundation Christmas meeting
Our last meeting of the year will be our Christmas Party: Saturday 29 November
Time : 1-4pm
Location : Forest Lake School Hall on Storey Ave
Cost : $5 to cover cost of hall
Please bring a plate to share for afternoon tea.
Please note the new venue!
This will also be our last meeting as chapter leaders. We have enjoyed the last three years but unfortunately now we do not have enough spare time to run the chapter.
We are thrilled that Marea Smith has agreed to take on this role. Marea has a lot of knowledge about the Weston A Price Foundation and is going to set up facebook page and a website for the chapter which will be a real benefit. She has also organised hiring the hall in Forest Lake which will hopefully be closer for most of you.
Look forward to seeing you all there.
