Dear All,
Thank you for your kindness, support and help. I've had a great time here at the nature center getting to know you all.
For those who have not heard, I will be resigning as Nature Center Coordinator at the end of this month.
I'm sorry to be leaving as so many good projects get under way. I feel I'm leaving the center and all of these efforts in good hands. I'm sure things will continue to improve and our great volunteers will continue their work.
Sincerely,
Calvin Godfrey,
Nature Center Coordinator

We are running our first annual car wash in conjunction with the Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts of America, Local Cub Pack 505 and Troop 510. This is a fundraiser for the ambulance corps as well as the scouts. As a scout they have to do community service to attain certain ranks and badges, so they will be out there washing as many cars as they can. The cost for the wash (which will be exterior only) is $5.00.
The date is Sunday, June 20, 2010, Father’s Day, from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Make it a way for dad and child to spend some time together. See what the local Cub/ Boy Scouts do and look into our ambulances and see what the volunteers use to save lives.
For further information, please call the Ambulance Corps
at (718) 338 - 0434.
Thank you, Flatlands Volunteer Ambulance Corps
