Attention Arrowmen,

Tah-Heetch Lodge is now a sponsor for Adopt-a-Highway on Hwy 168 between Bullard Ave. and the Clovis Avenue overpass, both East and West Bound. We will need approximately 24 arrowmen ages 16+ to provide service on this each month (see schedule below) In order to be a part of this, you must:

1. See a short video training
2. If a youth, get a signed permission slip, download here.
3. You cannot just show up. You must have prearranged with the work party leader, email him

Vests, safety glasses, hardhats, etc. are provided to us as well as bags. Please reply back to me if you are still willing and able to assist in this service project. Time spent will count towards earning your red border service flap (new this year - you can earn up to 20 hours of your 40 hours to earn the flap). You will be able to earn up to 2 per year. Those who help will be recognized in the Lim-Ik's Call newsletter and at the Lodge dinner in 2009. Lodge signage as sponsors will be placed soon.
