WAY WAY OT again -- my Revolutionaries book
by Joe Bauman 02 Mar '12

02 Mar '12

Hi Friends, I want to start a little advertising campaign that will showcase my book to Kindle users, but nobody has reviewed it. If anyone has read DON'T TREAD ON ME: Photographs and Life Stories of American Revolutionaries, using Kindle, I would deeply appreciate any review you can post on the Kindle site. This cost nothing to do, and I suspect you can do it anonymously, and I'm not trying to tell anyone what to say. But I don't want to start the campaign without any reviews at all showing up when people click on the site. Thanks, and I will try never to bother you again with this. -- Joe

Official Junior Girl Scout Badge Book?
by Patrick Wiggins 02 Mar '12

02 Mar '12

I'm trying to find the requirements for the Girl Scout Aerospace badge and I'm told they are listed in "The Official Junior Girl Scout Badge Book"? Anyone here happen to have a copy? Kind of odd that I can easily find requirements for the Boy Scout badges online but the ones for the Girl Scouts (at least not the Aerospace badge) don't seem to be online. Thanks, patrick

SPOC Cleanup Saturday
by Patrick Wiggins 01 Mar '12

01 Mar '12

Howdy folks, SLAS members on the list will have heard of this already but knowing there are a few non-SLASers here I thought I'd mention it here since those who are not members are also welcome to participate in the socialization, food (and work...). I hope to see a bunch of y'all out there Saturday, patrick SPOC Cleanup Saturday An all-day SPOC cleanup has been called for this coming Saturday, 3 March. There's lots to be done so we'd like to get as much help as possible. Morning people can arrive as early as 8:00 am with others showing up as they can. The club will supply drinks and snacks throughout the day and there will be a break for lunch. Suggested items to bring include ladders, hand tools, hedge trimmers, cleaning supplies, brooms, dust pans, vacuums, rakes and shovels. And don't forget gloves. Unlike most SPOC events this will be held even if the weather is not the best as there are lots of things to do inside as well as out. Those planning on attending are asked to let Rodger Fry know. He can be reached at rcfry(a)comcast.net.
