Mulch Fundraiser
The Upper Merion crew team needs your help as they raise funds for new equipment! Their mulch fundraiser runs through February 3, with delivery on March 8. They are selling* Black and Cedar mulch bags, $4.50 each. ($2.00 of the $4.50 is tax deductible )
Order here: mulch.umcrew.org.
(FREE delivery if you purchase 10 bags and live in the U.M. School District)
Spread The Word
The crew team sold more than 3,000 bags of mulch last year. The money raised was put toward purchasing new cox boxes and oars. The snow set them back and they only have until February 3 to get orders in. Can you help?

SAFETY AND CODES
|
Cold Ready?
Dress in lightweight and layered clothing. You can always add or remove layers to avoid getting chilled or overheated. Remember to always rehydrate your body. If you must travel, have an emergency kit with blankets in your vehicle. If your home loses heat or electrical power, never use barbeque grills or generators inside the home because these devices produce the deadly carbon monoxide gas.
(Tip sent by: Deputy Fire Marshal, Bill Daywalt)
