April Field Trip

Tuesday, April 24 we will be having a field trip to Beekeeper Joel Lantz' property.  We visited him last year, and it was one of everyone's favorite field trips. However, many were not able to make it, and some are interested in going again. The Lantz' place is at 192 Kunde in Skandia.  The tour will begin at 10:30 am.  Joel does an excellent job in educating people about bees and bee keeping.  Please RSVP by April 9 if you'd like to join us.  Group size will be limited. (Joel's new website is at : http://upbees.weebly.com/index.html)  You can RSVP by either leaving a comment on this post or email me at marquettechums@yahoo.com.

Children are encouraged to think of questions ahead of time to bring to the presentation.  It will be held in Peter White Library's community room at 2 pm.  RSVP is required, and there is a limit of 40 people. If you have any questions, either email me or you can call Shannon at 486-9900.

No field trip for December

Just in case you were wondering, there will be no field trip scheduled for December due to many other events going on.  We'll resume field trips in January, and I'll post details of that later as it gets put together. Have a blessed and merry Christmas!

November Field Trip to the Mining Journal

Our November Field trip is scheduled for the Mining Journal. We'll be touring while the printing presses are running. For this reason, they have asked to limit it to children 5 years old and up, accompanied by their parent(s). The machines will be pretty noisy, and children must not touch them as they are very dangerous.  The group size will be limited to 30, but I have reserved two days so we can do two groups of 30, if need be.  This will be a bit tricky to organize, so I appreciate your understanding and cooperation.  If we only get 30 people, we can all go through on Thursday, November 17th at 10 am.  If we get more, another group can go through on November 18th at 10 am.  

Location: The Mining Journal, 249 W Washington, Marquette

Please RSVP by November 7.  When you RSVP, please indicate which day would work best for you, keeping in mind that it may be the 17th depending on the number. I will send out an email letting you know for sure once everyone has responded.  

When you RSVP, please let me know the number of people and ages of the children.

If you have signed up, but cannot attend (even at the last minute) PLEASE LET ME KNOW!  There are many people who often want to come, but can't because the groups are full.  Your consideration for others in this would be greatly appreciated.  I will send out a reminder email a few days beforehand.  Emails can be sent to marquetttechums@yahoo.com.
