VOLUNTEER CALLOUT & DINNER
Thurs, February 16 - 6:30 pm
Canal Interpretive Center

Join us for a free ham & bean supper, and find out how you can make a difference at Canal Park! Meal begins at 6:30. Come earlier if you like to review some of the recent plans for trailside interactive enhancements and/or tour our Interpretive Museum. Anyone interested in Canal Park and Delphi Historic Trails is invited.

We need volunteer help to develop more outside activities and exhibits that will complement our popular Canal Park and Trails. At this time, we especially need:

• boat crew members to serve on weekends and for chartered tours throughout the week during the boat season
• docents to help with tour groups, especially school groups
• greeters in the Interpretive Center during public hours

However, we have many other volunteer opportunities for all ages, skill levels and interests! Please join us for dinner to find out more. For further information call (765) 412-4308

EARTH DAY / PROJECT W.E.E.D
Saturday, April 21, 9 am
Note: In case of rain, the alternate date is the following Saturday (April 28.)
Canal Park

Pitch in on Earth Day 2012 as we tidy up around the Canal! Bring your family and friends...individuals and groups welcome. Volunteers will receive a free lunch at noon in Canal Park (at the shelter,) provided by the local Psi Lota Xi sorority.

This year, some of our work will be in Canal Park and in two other nearby locations. On land just across IN-25 (to the north of Deer Creek,) and at the Schoenstatt Wayside Shrine, (along the canal trail nearer west Delphi,) we will remove trash, brush and debris. The big jobs will involve pruning, raking, bagging and chain saw work (by adults) to make both sites more presentable to the public.

The Wabash & Erie Canal sponsors the event with support from the USDA/NRCS “Earth Team” and Schoenstatt of Indiana organizers, a group working to develop their land next to the Canal Towpath Trail.

This year our goal is to top 100 workers! We welcome 4-H clubs, scout troops, church groups, and individuals of all ages. (Children should work together with parents or teachers.)

Important notes:

• All volunteers are asked to report to Canal Park at 9 am where instructions and team assembly will occur.
• Transportation may be required to some sites (and then back to Canal Park at noon for lunch.)
• Team captains, in Earth Team white hats, will direct work and answer questions at the various sites. 
• We encourage you to bring your own tools. Please mark them with your name before you come. 
• Dress appropriately in work clothes - long pants, workshoes, gloves and other protective wear. 
• Children should work together with parents or teachers.
• No pets please. 
• Check for last minute weather cancellation notice by calling the CANAL HOTLINE 765-564-6572.
