CAPE ANN VERNAL POND TEAM RECIEVES GRANT FROM NEW ENGLAND BIOLABS!!

Rick Roth writes ~

We got a check the other day for $2000 from New England BioLabs.  Tori Rosati got us a grant to help subsidize our presentations.  Thank you Tori.

I know you’re all saving the date for:
CAVPT Benefit Concert/Auction with Charlie Farren
Friday September 9, 2016  7-11pm at Mile Maker one in Gloucester.
We need sponsorships for this show… so, if you know somebody… or you are somebody who would like to sponsor us for this event, please get in touch.

It has come to my attention that some people have been responding to these listserv emails, and they are not getting to me. So… if you want to get in touch, please send an email to me at cavpt@yahoo.com

Someone out there must know something about listservs.  Please get in touch.  People are telling me they are not getting these listserv emails.  We had this other listsev before and the same thing happened after a while so we got a new listserv (this one) and now its happening all over again.  Anybody out there know anything about listservs who might be able to help get this straightened out?  It is certainly our most important form of communication for notifying the team about events and stuff.

And, Matt Burne, Nick Taormina and I have done a dozen or so new vernal pool surveys this year.  We also set 6 turtle traps in a swamp in West Gloucester where we think there might be some Blanding’s turtles.  If we find any, we may be able to delineate a Rare Species Habitat.

WE STILL NEED ONE, MAYBE TWO VOLUNTEERS FOR THIS SHOW:  Sunday  May 15, 2016  2pm
Snakes of New England and thew World- one hour live animal presentation.
Crane Estate, Ipswich MA.  Please get in touch if you can help out with this show.

And… keep gathering those yard sale items for the Big Giant Cape Ann Vernal Pond Team/Kestrel Educatrional Adventures Yard Sale, Saturday  May 28, 2016  9am-1pm, St. Peter’s Square in Gloucester.  Rain date- Saturday June 4th.

Also,  I now have an operational cell phone again.  978 559 9684.

Later,  Rick
