DIGITAL CAMERAS — Used Compact Models Needed

Great photos and smart phones go hand in hand nowadays. So, what happened to all those small, point and shoot cameras – the Coolpix, PowerShot and FinePix? Last year, we posted a similar request and received 6-8 cameras. They were a big hit especially during summer camp and Mother-Daughter Retreat. We are currently in search of 4-6 additional used (or new) point & shoot digital cameras for this summer. They are great for scavenger hunts, photography classes, photo booths and so much more. Requirements: good working condition and SD card compatible.

Save the date NOW and watch for details.

Green DuBois – Stewardship Opportunity – Saturday, February 16

Join the team and make a difference! Removing invasive species, such as Japanese honeysuckle, is the priority for the day. Invasives are insidious – “choking” out native plants and affecting tree reproduction essential for healthy woodlands. This is a great opportunity to move those muscles, meet and work with others who care about the environment, rescue wildlife habitat, support native plants and help ensure the future of DuBois Center’s wonderful woodlands. No special skills are needed. Dress for the weather – layers recommended – and bring lopping shears if you have them. Minimum Age: 16, unless accompanied by a parent. Lunch will be provided.
Please RSVP by MONDAY, FEB 11.For more information or to sign up, contact DuBois Center at dcinfo@DuBoisCenter.org or 618-787-2202.
