Plan now to volunteer for the 4th Annual City of Eureka Community Clean Up scheduled for Saturday, May 8, 2010, at 1:00 p.m. You can volunteer for four different sites: The Eureka Boardwalk, Halvorson Park, Elk River Wildlife Sanctuary, and the Palco Marsh.

Participants will receive a sports bottle and T-shirt by pre-registering before May 1! Team Up to Clean Up! Plan to register using Lost Coast Geocachers as the organization name!

A Volunteer Appreciation Event will be held after the clean up on the Boardwalk with live music and a BBQ at 3:00 p.m. During the volunteer appreciation event, an opportunity drawing will be held for participating volunteers with gift certificates provided by City of Eureka merchants.

You can register by clicking here, or by calling 441-4184. Remember to sign up before May 1 to get a free T-shirt, and use Lost Coast Geocachers as the company/organization.

MuggleN0More, BS~PCT, Sabotage, Eragon, Flower, Hello Kitty and Little Bo Peep plan to attend. Thanks for keeping us in the know about this!

ill attempt a showing

Yup...I'll be there!!

This event is now scheduled for Saturday, May 8 starting at 1:00 p.m. The registration form is available online. Please use Lost Coast Geocachers when you sign up.

Do we all want to clean up at the same site? Or do we just want to meet at the lunch at 3:00 p.m.?

Remember to sign up before May 1 to get your free water bottle and T-shirt.

It would be nice to be all at the same site but not a requirement. Which one is most centralized?

Vanna will recall that everyone went to the Boardwalk after the clean up for music, raffle, and lunch. I chose the Boardwalk last year for one-stop parking and the beautiful views.

That sounds good to me since I'll probably have the Clan with me. What do other's think? Chime in if you have an opinion every one!

TO LONG DID NOT READ, ill be there, and ill be [] also ill bring my g-ma i hope!

I will just go where the crowd goes...Which Is??

Since we'll all end up at the Eureka Boardwalk for lunch, let's sign up there. (And maybe sweetj will hide a cache nearby to give us extra incentive.)

Will Do!

The Sydnes clan will be there!

Anybody signed up yet?

I wonder if there will be two queues on the Boardwalk. One for the buffet lunch, and one for Nan'tastic.

We signed up!

Yup....i am signed up now!

If you plan to participate in the cleanup, remember to register before May 1 to get a complimentary water bottle and T-shirt.

I tried to sign up using the on-line form, but it's not working for me; I can fill in everything but the location. When I click on that the box turns grey for as long as I press the mouse button, but I can't type anything and there's no pop-up menu. This happens with both Safari 2.0.4 and Safari 3.0.4 on an iMac.

Has anyone else had trouble or success with the on-line form?

You can email the requested registration info directly to Miles Slattery at mslattery@ci.eureka.ca.go

It's this Saturday! Who all signed up?

• sweetj
• hidegoseek
• Vanna
• Nylimb
• Team Sydnes

We're signed up. We'll be there!

Yuppers...see everyone there!! Sounds like it should be good weather!!

Well, it turns out I wont be able to make it. I've injured my shoulder and no repetitive movements for 3 weeks. Enough said.

I hope they won't kick us out for having too few people:

That only applies to areas other than their four designated cleanup sites.

Are we meeting in the general vicinity of Nan'tastic? Or elsewhere along the boardwalk?

Last year the check-in table was near the compass rose. You get your supplies there and then wander off picking up trash. Last year I found a homeless camp just on the other side of the condos.

I think sweetj should stand with his hand on Nan'tasitc so we don't pick it up by mistake.

The compass rose area is also the area for the raffle, entertainment, and BBQ lunch.

Sorry cant make it guys! though on the 11th i hope to sneek off while doing an ecology project in the forest to snag the nearist one wish me detention free!

I really wish I could be there. I can still bring the Clan if it will help.

Don't get caught!!

I wont!

You are wont for what?

Get caught. But I want to know who's going to catch him and what are they going to catch him/you doing?

YEAH!

Hello Everyone,

I just wanted to forward on the stats from this year’s event:

Halverson (66 volunteers): 1080 lbs.
Boardwalk (63 volunteers): 520 lbs.
Elk River (68 volunteers): 2040 lbs.
Palco (53 volunteers): 6540 [plus approximately 480 lbs of scrap metal from dismantled shopping carts (a potential source of metal contamination) and 360 lbs of wood pallets]

_____________________________

Total (250 volunteers): 10,180 lbs of trash (not including scrap metal and pallets) or 4.5 tons.

As in previous years, this year’s event surpassed not only the number of volunteers participating, but also the amount of litter removed. Having such a good turnout from volunteers and organizations like yours really demonstrates the City’s commitment to environmental stewardship. I appreciate all of your help in making this year’s event so successful.

Sincerely,

Miles Slattery
