To all ABNC Members:

It's time to start work on the 2010 ABNC Calendar - our third year - and we need your photos! As you are aware, the calendar has been a huge success which has raised over $10,000 for the Environmental Center over the last two years. It has grown in popularity and people are already asking when they can buy one, so we are anxious to get this year's published.

Here's what we need:

1) Photos! They must be taken in the North Quabbin region by a Club member. We need photos from all seasons - photos appropriate for Nov to Feb were particularly difficult to come up with last year. Photos can be "anything alive", including wildflower and native plants. Stunning scenery of the North Quabbin Region is OK too. If you have photos on a web site, please send the web address, otherwise, send the photos directly. Hi resolution images are needed. Send only one image per e-mail and identify (if known): the subject, date, location and photographer

2) Nature notes. Do you have something to add? Diversity is good - notes can be about birds, insects, plants, astronomy, animals, reptiles, amphibians, whatever! Were any notes in the 2009 calendar incorrect?

3) Any suggestions for improvements? Comments are welcome.

This year we hope to have the calendar complete by mid October, so please respond as soon as possible.

All photos, notes and other comments/suggestions can be emailed to cindyha...@gmail.com with a copy to da...@dhsmall.net

Thanks in advance for the help!

Public Service Announcement for Athol Residents
CERT programs are active in most communities contact your emergency manager to see how you can help.

The Town of Athol CERT Program is being started because of the need for a well-trained civilian emergency work force. The CERT Program provides for community self-sufficiency through the development of multifunctional response teams who act as an adjunct to the Town’s emergency services during disasters. When emergencies happen, CERT member can give critical support to first responders and provide immediate assistance to disaster victims. CERT members can also assist with non-emergency projects and events within the community. Through this unique program, people from the community organizations, business and industry, and town employee groups will become CERT members. They work as team members and perform as individual leaders by directing untrained volunteers in the initial phase of an emergency.

To become a CERT graduate, you must complete the 20 hour Level 1 Course. The course is followed by continuing education programs including annual refreshers. The CERT Program will also offer additional training courses which include, but are not limited to, CPR; Shelter Operations; Advanced First Aid; and other programs that will benefit our CERT members and the community.

VOLUNTEERS ARE NEEDED: Our Next Class is beginning on October 15^th at 6:30 pm at the Athol Town Hall. See the schedule Below.
