American Tobacco Trail Workday Saturday, March 29 9 a.m.

[Bill Bussey]

Hi Volunteers for the American Tobacco Trail,

This very late 
message is to remind you of our American Tobacco Trail workday, tomorrow
*Saturday, March 29*, at the New Hope Church Road Access 
<http://www.triangletrails.org/DIRECTIONS.HTM> at 9:00 a.m. We'll be 
joined at about 10 a.m. by about 50 members of Service Raleigh. So we 
should get a lot accomplished.

Please join us for this special volunteer workday, * * tomorrow, 
*Saturday, March 29*, at the New Hope Church Road Access 
<http://www.triangletrails.org/DIRECTIONS.HTM> at 9:00 a.m.

Our goal is to clean the trail and drainage ditches of downed trees, 
limbs, logs, brush, briars and any trash that might be there.

Last week, Amanda and Victoria Hatfield, two others from the National 
Charity League, Dilys Bowman, Frank Bennett and me volunteered at the 
Cary Duathlon <http://www.fsseries.com/>. We had a great time directing 
racers at turns on the roads of Chatham County. It appeared that the 
race was well organized, and most racers seemed to have a great time. 
Thanks to all who participated.

As always we will work until about noon or so. However, because of the 
Service Raleigh group's needs, we'll be working this weekend until 2 p.m.

*Do note* that if you are volunteering for school *Environmental Service 
hours*, and you say you will work for 3 hours, you need to be prepared 
to work until noon, or a little after because we need to plan for our 
work and cleanup of our work. If you need to leave earlier, you need to 
let the workday leader know ahead of time. Thanks!

And let me take this opportunity to *Thank You* for all of your help
and support in building, cleaning and clearing the American Tobacco
Trail in 2007. Thanks to your hard work, expertise and
diligent efforts, we are making steady progress.

Thousands of trail 
users are *now safely using* the sections of the trail and facilities
you have helped clear, clean and build. We get so many wonderful
comments and thanks on how well the trail looks when folks use these
facilities. These trail users are often *amazed* to find out that these
improvements were done *completely* by volunteers. Thank you for the
great work and for volunteering your valuable time to help with this
project. Know that it wouldn't be possible without the great work of
each and every one of you.

Thanks for your help and support in building the American Tobacco Trail.

Happy Trails,

Bill Bussey
