Hi Everyone !

I have been thinking of a way that I can easily keep in touch with everyone and have a place where we can share upcoming events etc. It would be nice to have our own website one day, but until that day comes I thought this blog might serve us well for now.

I am new to "blogging" .. so you will have to bear with me while I get things here figured out ! Please feel free to let me know of any links, events or articles of interest that you want to share with the group and I will be sure to get them posted.

Also .. you can sign up with your email address and recieve updates directly to your inbox .. and you can post a comment to any one of the posts here ... this is how you do it:

Below this post you will see beside the time of the post and area that says "0 comments" .... if you click on that it bring up a comment box for you to post in ... it may ask you for a "sign in" ... and unless you have one of the account types listed .. the best way to sign in is to go to "name/url" and just fill in the name you want to use (no need to put in an URL address). It should be quite simple once you get onto it .. also .. I have set it so that you will have to copy a text sequence in order to post .. that is just to keep "comment spam" off the blog. Hope this is not too confusing for you all .. alternatively you can always email me .. and I can comment for you.

If you want to sign up to recieve updates with your email address ... again .. click on "comments" .. and there is a link near the bottom of the comment box that will allow you to " Sign up for updates using your email" . You do not have to comment at that time to be able to use the sign up link. Alternatively ... I can add your email address so that you will recieve updates to this blog directly to your inbox .. just send me an email.

Sounds confusing doesn't it ??? LOL ! I think though even if you are not commenting it will be a good place to share info. It does allow us to have up to 10 "pages" here .. just like a website .. so as time goes on we can keep adding to the blog.

Talk to you soon ..

Riparian Health Assessment

I just thought I would let you all know that the grant for the 2010 Riparian Health Assessment Project was completed and sent in at the end of Feb. We should know by March if we are approved or not. Either way I am hoping we will still be able to at least have some kind of Field Day this year. I will keep everyone posted on the grant process.

Also .. I have spoke with the MD of Pincher Creek and they are going to do the accounting for us. It is a really simple process and we can get financial statements from them as needed/requested.

Guess that's it ..
