Workday this Saturday at Fayetteville Road Parking Area

[Bill Bussey]

Hi American Tobacco Trail Volunteers,

A last minute update.

An empty dumpster arrived on site today, and the old one was hauled 
away. We smashed the remaining roof with the tractor. Gosh there is a 
lot of tar paper! All we need to do is smash a bit more of it and walk 
it into the dumpster.

With a good crowd we can fill the dumpster and almost be done with the 
demolition. We may not get it all - including some other trash on the 
property - but it will be very close.

Come on out and participate in a day where you'll easily see what you've 
accomplished. Even if you come late, or even for an hour or two, we do 
need you!

Happy Trails,

Bill Bussey
