I finally got to talk with someone at Phoenix Parks and Recreation. Apparently that is the agency that is coordinating everything. We are signed up as “Arizona Geocachers” and will participate in the trail cleaning project, and we will have a booth that we will need to staff. The more the merrier, so if you become interested and/or available, I’ll be glad to add you to the list; just let me know.

As far as the presentation is concerned, I’m emailing AZCachemeister, who volunteered, and we’ll go over that off list. It’s not a done deal yet.

Now, they’re expecting over 5,000 people to attend. They won’t all stop at our booth, but we need to have something in the way of a handout. That, however, involves money.

I’d like to be able to have a number (500-1000) of the Let’s Go Geocaching! brochure (http://www.geocacher-u.com/resources/brochure1.pdf) available, but we’d need to either pay to have them printed and folded, pay even more to have them printed in color and folded, or find someone with the facilities to print and fold who would we willing to donate the work and materials (paper, ink, etc.). So if there’s anyone who can donate that, please contact me. Otherwise I’ll start passing the hat.

If anyone has any ideas on additional handouts or giveaways that we could (afford to) obtain, I’d be interested in hearing them as well.

National Public Lands Day (NPLD) is Saturday, September 24. For more information, read the information at http://tinyurl.com/7s89g and http://www.npld.com. If you haven’t volunteered yet and want to join us, please let me know. Thanks.
