Hello friends,

The New Year approaches and it looks like we are going to make it through without a hiccup….well, until December. Maybe holiday season begins early for us, but we will have to wait and see what the rollercoaster brings us. Good things I hope.

Volgistics and You

Please be mindful to record all of your hours. You have until October 14th to backlog your missed hours. If you need any assistance please send an email to cabr_volunteers@nps.gov with “New Year” in the subject line and we are happy to help.

Books of Outstanding

A friendly reminder to folks that might still be hanging on to an “Understanding Point Loma” book to please return to Cabrillo so we can pass along to other volunteers who want to get some wrinkles in their brains. I sing this song to you… “You can send it by railway, you can send it by trailway. You can send it by airplane, you can send it with your mind, you can send it by caravan, cross the desert like an Arab man, I don’t care how it gets here, just get it here if you can.”

Right On,
Tavio
