                           Volunteers Needed!

Come and enjoy the Bay as we clean up Damon Marsh, a portion of the
newly renamed Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Regional Shoreline.  This
shoreline provides extensive wetland habitat for a wide variety of
shorebirds and waterfowl. Refuse brought in both by the ocean current
and from the Coliseum parking lot is deposited across Damon Marsh,
making this habitat in desperate need of loving attention. This is a
great opportunity to help in the Bay restoration AND discover a little-
known gem of the East Bay Regional Park District.

When:    10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
         Saturday, February 27 AND Saturday, March 13

Where:   We will meet at the Oakland Sports Complex
         (not the Coliseum Complex) parking lot
         located off Oakport Street a quarter mile
         north of the 66th Avenue exit of 880.

         From 880, take the 66th Avenue exit (just north of the
         Oakland Coliseum), head west towards the Bay, and you
         will quickly come to the end of 66th. Turn right onto
         Oakport Street and follow it about one half mile north
         until you reach the red and white striped "peppermint
         gate" on your left. Go up the dirt road to the parking
         area.

         By public transit: from the Coliseum Bart station, AC Transit
         #98 will go up San Leandro Street, left onto 66th Ave across
         the 880 freeway, and left onto Oakport Street. Get off where
         66th meets Oakport and walk to the right a quarter mile to
         the peppermint gate.

Please be on time, since we will be walking a short distance to the
actual work party site. (Besides, if you're late there may not be any
donuts left.)

Please bring work gloves, thick-soled shoes, and protection from sun,
wind, and/or rain.

Everyone is encouraged to bring a lunch for a shoreline picnic
afterwards.  It may be chilly, so you might want to bring hot and/or
cold drinks.

Call Ruth Gravanis at 510-452-9261 if you have any questions, or if you
would like to be put on our mailing list for notification of future
shoreline restoration events.
