We'll have water and a few snacks available. Please wear closed-toe shoes, a hat and bring work gloves and other items that may be useful. Participants under 18 years of age must have adult supervision. Meet at side parking lot of Indian River Post Office, 3810 Indian River Road, Chesapeake. In October, Buy Fresh Buy Local will present at our monthly meeting. We'll also have several volunteer events in Indian River Park to construct a new nature trail. This is a project we started, in cooperation with Chesapeake Parks Department and the Chesapeake Arboretum, to show off this century-old forest along the headwaters of the Indian River in the park. There will be several work days in Saturday's (October 12th, 26th, and possibly the 19th) and we will need volunteers.
Also, remember that this Tuesday, September 3rd, 7 pm, the City is holding a Town Meeting at Indian River Middle School at 2300 Old Greenbrier Rd. This is an opportunity to ask the City Council about topics that concern you.
