[Greenway-board] Re: NCMA trail event this Sat.

[Bill Bussey]

Hi Bill and Rest,

Thanks for this update. I don't recall the notice, but I could probably 
find it.

I found out today that both Curt and Frank will be unable to make our 
regular planned 3rd Saturday Durham ATT workday this Saturday. We are 
expecting some volunteers from Volunteer Durham. So I'll have to be 
there to lead the workday. I'd really like to make the celebration if 
possible.

If anyone else can make this and take some TGC brochures to the 
celebration, I'll be happy to get them some by tomorrow.

BTW, how did the Land Trust meeting go last night? I have been slammed 
with taxes, meeting prep and a sick truck.

Happy Trails,

Bill B.
