 What:      The 6th Annual Seed Processing and Volunteer Appreciation Day

This is NO Trick! With High Winds and a 98% chance of rain, we are moving our Seed Processing and Volunteer Appreciation Day to Halloween day.

The details remain the same but only the date has changed. We will begin the morning by processing all the seed we have collected so far this year from 9:00 am - 11:00 am followed by the luncheon and awards ceremony from 11:00 am - 1:00 pm.

The Commission will provide a bonfire Kielbasa roast and attendees are asked to bring a complementary dish for at least 10 people. Commissioner Jill Moskal will be coordinating the potluck. Please RSVP with her at jill.moskal@att.net  with the number of people that will be coming with you and what you will be bringing. You do not need to attend the seed processing in order to attend the Volunteer Appreciation lunch and family members are welcome, they just need to be in the count.

The weather is currently being predicted as 57° and overcast, so dress warmly!  After the festivities, we will be out celebrating on the newly installed boardwalks that you all have worked so hard on!. Parking is on  Marion/Maple  on the Slough side of the road facing Willow Road. Lost? call 847.910.5257.
