He commented that so far 48 people signed up for the rain barrels. The activities of the Watershed Day will include tree planting, rainbarrel program, rain garden planting, name the garden contest and groundbreaking for Clear Brook park project. He asked for help for both Friday and Saturday and put out signup sheets.

It was also noted that the Children's Fishing Derby at Lorimer Park will be the same day as the Watershed Day. A plea was made for some of our members to try to make that event since we've supported this fishing derby in the past.

The Pennypack was stocked with 200 browns. Signs have been placed for catch and release areas only. Dick McKinney noted that there was an opening for fishing in Maine. This trip would be from Sunday June 14 to Saturday June 20. Dick also said there would be sign up for the Penn's Creek fishing trip from May 15-17. Tom Franklin is going to investigate a fishing trip to involve our group. Mike Wilson mentioned the possibility of a trip to Lake Erie in September.
