BORC

This is just a friendly reminder that this Monday, June 2nd, we'll be heading to BORC for the day.

Please remember to bring a litter-free lunch (lunch will not be provided by BORC) and dress appropriately for the weather, e.g., sunscreen, hats, shorts...etc.

The long range forecast is predicting a high of 26 degrees but also possible thundershowers. We'll be going either way however, rain or shine, so keep an eye on the weather. You may need to bring a rain coat or rain boots. And remember -- follow an appropriate dress code!

The official BORC handout says:

• sun hat & sunscreen
• closed toe shoes
• light, long pants
• light jacket
• cool/wet weather:
• boots, rain coat & pants
• extra socks

Make sure you have a good breakfast on the day of the trip as you will need extra energy for an active morning!
