Where will this be held? Is there a cache page yet?

Here's a letter I got from the parks. I'm looking for some help on that day. Flooder, are you still out there?

Here’s the information we have going into our fall schedule guide:


Sunday, October 1

Beginner’s Geocaching

2pm – RRA, Shelter #3

We’ll be looking for a cache with members of the NW Ohio Geocachers. If you have an interest in learning about geocaching, here’s your chance to learn from the professionals.

HPD does have a screen and a projector to hook up a laptop for a PowerPoint presentation. I don’t know a lot about this. You are more than welcome to use our stuff, as long as it works with your laptop. If you would like to look at our system ahead of time, that’s fine.

We are hiring a new Outdoor Recreation Coordinator by the end of the month. Her name is Stacie Roby and she will be working directly with you in the future on public programs in the parks. As soon as she starts, I will have her get in touch with you regarding specifics for the news release and other details.

Thanks in advance for all your help.

It was in the HPD quarterly paper insert in the Findlay Courier on Monday.
P.S. Is there a web page editor that I can use to make page for the event.

I think I can be there. Also for a webpage editor.

You may want to look into this: http://www.virtualmechanics.com/products/dwarf/

Or just do it all in hand HTML. I did my page like that.
