Wednesday’s Field Trip to Springfield
October 11, 2011
Ok, looks like we’re good to go for tomorrow’s trip – let’s plan on meeting at the circle at the front gate of the Springfield Technical Community College at around 8:30 — your back pack should include: camera, voice recorders, pens, pads. We’ll likely be driving to different locations and getting out but I will pass along more information later.
