Elisabeth, I don't know specifically what David Tarpy would have me to do. I just volunteered to help him, so  come at your convenience and perhaps you can  answer some questions from shoppers. I think this will be a nice event and we hope to spark some interest in bees and pollinators. David is printing some flyers about OCBA in case someone is interested in our group!

  Gayle - is there any time when it would be more useful for you to have some help? I could come late morning or late afternoon and would be happy to help.  -Elisabeth
