After the 15 October Petrified Pup workshop we will be having a pup pot luck for any interested pups and their parents/guardians. It will be a time for us to socialize and discuss the calendar for next year.

I need two people to lecture (about 45 minutes long) to the pups on Earth Processes. I need one person on the 3^rd of December and another on the 17^th of December

The Pups started to organize a big fund raiser but it has died. Is there someone who would be willing to revitalize this for the pups?
