*See MsLevy to help put together promotional materials for the Belchertown Fair... let's use the opportunity to raise the profile of the beautiful Lake Wallace area and get folks interested in the Sept 29 cleanup (see below)
*The 3rd Annual Cleanup at Lake Wallace is happening on Saturday, Sept 29 10-1. Join us in partnering once again with the Connecticut River Watershed Council in the Source-to-Sea cleanup. Get ready to get wet and get dirty for the river. Details will follow.
*Volunteers are needed for chaperoning field trips to Lake Wallace and generally helping teachers get students out into the schoolyard to do engaging Science activities. Sign up to be a volunteer through your schools' Main Office and let MsLevy know if you're willing to help support hands-on Science in and out of the classroom!
*Go for a walk around Lake Wallace and let us know what you see ... email MsLevy at (yep, you guessed it!) llevy@belchertown.org
