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
