  1. Eating groups that need to visit a habitat in the afternoon for their group project should schedule an excursion with Weaver’s.
  2. For the evening excursions to the rocky coast, we will be taking two eating groups in the SPV.  Because of this, the excursions will be limited to just the students and one instructor.  Others are welcome to come if you have your own transportation.  Each group should take a couple of buckets along.  You should wear old tennis shoes or water shoes.  You may want gloves.  If you have a flashlight, you should take it along. 

 General Announcements:

  1. When working at the GC facility, please be sure to clean up after yourself.
  2. If you have not yet paid for the John Pennekamp trip, please pay Jeremy Kauffman today.
  3. Tomorrow’s dinner is at the Island Grill in Key Largo (close to John Pennekamp State Park).  If you are not going on the JPSP snorkel trip, you are welcome to join us for dinner there, but we need to know so that we can let the restaurant know how many people to expect.
