fall events, mulch day at Rome's

["Kathie Brosemer" <kathie@cleannorth.org>]

Three fall events:

1.  Sept 21, Saturday, Scavenger Day (Scrounge Day) - the
put-stuff-at-the-curb-and-watch-it-disappear event.  The following week is
free week at the landfill, so this is the time!  We have $ from Canada
Trust to print an announcement/FREE sign, and circulate it via Sault This
Week.
2.  Next BOYD.  October when?

3.  Mulch day at Rome's.  Donna at Rome's is up for it.  Repeat of last
year's event, we need a date.  Saturday the 21st is taken (unless we think
we can do both Scavenger Day and this on the same day - S Day won't take
our time on the actual day, just all the preparation, publicity, leadup). 
 New possible twists:
A.  Peter has some nice potted up "yearling" trees he suggests we sell for
a toonie - only about a hundred of them, so first-come, first-served. 
Peter, Don, are there any baby trees also available from anywhere?
B.  Suzanne says the Hort Society is looking at a fall plant sale.  Could
join us on that day.
C.  I recall Susan Richards from New North once suggesting that planting
flats and nursery pots could be reused (unfortunately not those cell-packs
though).  So we could advertise a reuse event, select any nice 6 in pots
that Don and Peter want for future tree projects, and turn over the rest
to Susan.  I would need to verify this with her first before we could say
anything.
D.  Any other tree/mulch related ideas?


Please suggest dates for BOYD and for Mulch Day

thanks
