[cobirds] Final details: Nov 3rd, Last Chance Oasis Appreciation Day & cleanup. New start time is 10:30.

Greetings, appreciative birders!

Details of the big day at Last Chance have firmed up and about ten

grateful birders have signed up for this Saturday, November 3rd. We could use a few more.

We'll be joined by some of the Lions Club members and a representative of M12arts.

This is our chance to show our appreciation for access to this very birdy site,

and it's not just about trash pickup. So please come without work gloves if you just want to say "thanks.'

We will meet at 10:30 at Last Chance at the intersection of Highways 36 and 71.

Trash pickup will start then, and please note, the TIME HAS MOVED UP by 30 minutes.  This is due to 

the nice people of the Last Chance area providing lunch for us, which will start at NOON.

If there is any work left over, we can finish it up after lunch. At that time,

we might be spreading some straw over the hotly burnt and sterile slopes.

Erosion has started to carve gullies, and we'll plant native grass seed and shrubs next spring.

(We will only be working in the SW corner this Saturday and not katty-corner at the old motel site).

The folks out there are kindly providing the bulk of the lunchtime meal and are eager for us

to join them to eat and chat. It would be swell if each of us birders could

bring a salad or a dessert to share with 4-6 persons, as they have the other courses covered.

No alcoholic beverages, of course.

Please arrange your schedule to stay until 1 PM, at least, as it means 

a lot to them for us to stay and share a meal. (Not much happens out at Last Chance

without a casserole, which is a good thing).

Work gloves, old clothes, a salad or dessert to share and an appetite are all you need to bring. Some of 

you might bring a shovel or pick-ax, as some of the objet's d'art are semi-buried.

Thanks, 

Joe Roller, Denver
