duck patrol

thank you to everyone who came to our duck patrol, this was a nice change from the last one! we found no one was feeding the ducks and were more positive toward us. what a relief! periodically we will meet at the duck pond for duck patrols, this will be ongoing next year as well. we can also meet at the colorado lagoon, a beautiful oasis in the city! see everyone after the holiday!

next meeting is monday June 1st, please look over the indian name worksheets i gave you and/or get an indian name book from the council. we will choose our new indian group name and our own individual names!!

we are hosting a bake sale table and an art/craft kid table at the upcoming, just announced Los Cerritos Wetlands Rummage sale on Saturday June 20th being held at the Gaslamp restaurant on Loynes and PCH. We will need to supply lots and lots of home baked goodies so get ready for some baking, please mark your calendar and get more junk out of the closets. we can host a camp fire "junk" table as well. i have bags and bags of stuff, just need a volunteer to run it. let me know if you can help!

June 7th beach bbq at bolsa chica, 3pm, dori and i will be working on this, let me know if you are coming so we can coordinate the fire ring number we will be at and wood (does anyone have some to donate?) bring your own dinner!

June 8th Ice cream meeting at the church, 5pm

June 13th 8am, Mary has invited us to a bird walk at gum grove park, this is a last minute add on to the schedule, i am going to try and make it. let me know if you can go, gum grove park is in the "Heron Pointe" housing tract in seal beach off seal beach blvd, across from the naval station. next year we will meet there for at least one meeting, you can see Los Cerritos Wetlands on this walk!

June 15th Day camp meeting: bring a t shirt to decorate. drop a shirt off to me if you cant make this meeting. we are planning menus and making our mascot. day camp theme is "lost in space!"


June 20th Los Cerritos Wetlands Benefit Rummage Sale

how can you help? donate goods to sell, host the "sale" table, help at the bake sale table, help at the kids/craft table, donate baked goods... anything else? just let me know! thanks so much guys! i am running this entire event myself!

Fall registration packets due to me by June 15th so i can get them in on time. if anyone knows someone who wants to join our group, now is the time since day camp is the start of our year.

Summer: we are officially off after day camp but i will be continuing my work with the wetlands group so periodically i will send out emails if i need girls for events. i also would LOVE to have a painting type class where i can teach drawing and painting in more depth. let me know if you are interested, i can plan it and send out a list of materials needed (for example a sketch pad and canvas board). i will be doing this with emily and more kids would make it fun.


thanks for another great year! you guys are the best!
