WE GOT AN INCH OF RAIN YESTERDAY!
TODAY...SUNNY AND COOL, HIGH OF ONLY 67.
MORE RAIN COMING THIS WORK WEEK.
UPCOMING WEEKEND SHOULD BE PRETTY NICE.

THE RE-BUILD OF LITTLE BEAR PARK WENT WELL OVER THE
WEEKEND.
SATURDAY, A BIG TURN-OUT OF VOLUNTEER WORKERS.
SUNDAY, WITH THE RAIN, NOT AS MUCH DONE, BUT MANY VOLUNTEERS
STILL WORKED, ESPECIALLY IN THE AFTERNOON.   AND AT THE END OF
THE WORK DAY, MANY WENT TO THE DECKER HOTEL BASEMENT BAR
WHERE THE DECKER HOSTED A PARTY OF CHICKEN STRIPS, OTHER
SNACKS AND REFRESHMENTS.
NO WORKERS WERE AT THE PARK TODAY, BUT MORE WORK STILL NEEDS TO BE DONE.   I HAVE NOT HEARD WHAT THE COMMITTEE HAS PLANNED FOR
THIS WEEK.    AND SORRY, I DID NOT GET A PHOTO TAKEN TODAY.
