Ok folks, one more change of plans.

We were just informed that parks will not permit us to construct the
bioswale at Wilshire Park this Sunday as planned, it came as a bit of a
surprise but this is the nature of projects like this where so many players
are involved.  Instead, we will be doing it later in the week and I will
keep you all informed with details as soon as we know. However, we will be
having the workshop from the Greywater Guerrillas this Sunday from
1:00-3:00.  I encourage all who are interested to attend as it will be great
info for when we implement it the following weekend.  In addition, the
Greywater Guerrillas will be having a workshop TOMORROW, the info is below.

Don't forget about Art in the Park this sunday at Wilshire Park from 1-4pm.
We'll have the supplies, all you need is your muse...

Our other projects will continue as stated in the previous e-mail.

Thank you for bearing with us.

Billy
