Event Details
When: April 17 − 19, 2009
Register By: April 13, 2009
Where: Gibraltar Island, Put-In-Bay

New volunteers are welcome!

Bring your work gloves and help spruce up Stone Lab for the upcoming season at the annual FOSL Spring Work Weekend April 17-19. Participants are invited to arrive Friday night and stay until Sunday morning or simply come for the day on Saturday. There’s plenty of cleaning, organizing, carrying, painting, moving, and digging to do!

Gear to Bring

April weather on Gibraltar is unpredictable and often cold, so check the forecast and dress accordingly in clothes that can get dirty. If it rains, we’ll still be working, which makes rain gear a plus. Meals will be provided, but be sure to bring bedding, towels, and toiletries.

Registration and Arrival

Please call Kelly Dress at 419.285.1800 to register by Monday, April 13. She will add your name to a list for the Miller Boat Line, where you can take the ferry for free that weekend. You may choose to pay for your own ticket to save Stone Lab the cost.

A Stone Lab van will meet the Miller Ferries at 5:30, 6:30, and 7:30 p.m. Friday night, and 8:30 and 9:30 a.m. Saturday morning. If you arrive at a different time, a cab to the Stone Lab Research Building and a call to 614.738.5311 will get you transportation to the island.

Donate Supplies

Stone Lab now has a gift registry at www.lowes.com. Laboratory Co−Director Matt Thomas has filled the list with items needed on the island, giving you another way to donate, even if you can’t make it for the weekend. Simply search for first name “Stone,” last name “Lab” to view it, make your purchases, then bring them with you or have them delivered directly to the Stone Lab office.
