As summer draws to a close there are two events I hope you will be willing to take part in.

1. There will be our second roadside cleanup of the year next Saturday, August 24th. We will meet at Lake Eaton at 9:00 am. There is a lot to pick up and the more helpers we have the more roadsides can be done. Summer seems to bring out lots of trash throwers. All volunteers are welcome. It usually takes about an hour to an hour and a half. In case of rain, it will be held on 8/25. Same time and place.

2. Our annual Labor Day Potluck Picnic will be held on Sunday, September 1st, at 2:00 at Lake Eaton. Last year we had more than 50 people and everyone had a good time. We will provide beverages and paper goods. Everyone is welcome to bring a dish to share and see old and new friends. Our July 6th events were such a success that we are hopeful for a good turnout at the Labor Day picnic as well. We will be selling the AuSable Acres t-shirts again, in case you didn’t have a chance to get one at the last meeting and picnic. The cost is $15 for one and 2/$25. There is no rain date for this event. Hope to see you there.
