Education is in need of TP rolls and lots of paper towel rolls for EcoCamp crafts. Thanks to all for the many supplies you have recycled over the years. 

Education is again in need, this time they are looking for Fabric Tablecloths. With an increase in classes being offered, the Hana Building is being used more and more. The Education Department is hoping that fabric tablecloths will help with sound absorption. They would like solid colors and have 26 four foot tables and 10 eight foot tables. As always thank for your support.

Over the past few months I have heard from many of your regarding different events we once had out here are ABNC and have had different ideas come across my desk for other areas. This ideas include: Yule Time Celebration, Strawberry Festival Parade, Earth Day/Butterfly Event, National Pollinator Week and so goes the list. On February 26 at 3 pm in classroom 3 I will be having a meeting for anyone interested in helping with a new committee to assist in seeing some of these events take place. If you are interest in attending please let me know, I will have a signup sheet in the volunteer office. First order of business will be to come up with a name to the committee.

The Volunteer Board provides meats (ham and turkey) so please bring a side dish or dessert. Include your family to enjoy time with us. Don’t forget your plates and such to save using paper and plastic.

The Volunteer Board has decided to join the Pasadena Police Department’s “Officer Santa” Program. It provides toys and necessities, such as clothing for underprivileged children in the Pasadena community. Please bring a new, unwrapped item any time after November 28 up until our meeting December 10 and place it under the decorated tree in the auditorium. The following day, we will take them to Community Services on Fairmont. Keep in mind that the recipients will be children between 5 and 12 years.

The Volunteer Handbook has been updated and is now available here on our website. Once you log in you will find the link right above where you update your hours, right next to the Volunteer Manual. Please read the Volunteer Handbook. It is very important for all volunteers to then print, sign and return page 14, the Volunteer Acknowledgement Form and page 15, the Photograph and Publicity Release Form, to Volunteer Coordinator’s office. You can also scan the signed pages and email to liz@abnc.org

The Education Department no longer need any egg cartons or paper rolls. They do still need newspapers, cereal boxes and gently used old towels. Thanks you all for all the donations. 

Margaret Frick is putting together a list of bats in the area, in preparation for the upcoming Bat Training, January 2016. She would love to have more photographic proof of the bats in the area.  If any of our photographers have any bat pictures in and around ABNC, please forward to liz@abnc.org .
