Hello Friends
Thanks to all who have printed those 5 Color youth program flyer’s and posted them in our community!
Saturday as I helped Lynn Grimes with Scrubbys Recycled Paper Making, a wonderfully and unique thing happened!
We have a group from Venice “Village On The Isle” they bring their bus to the park on Saturday afternoons from time to time, in the past they come into the nature center maybe watch a video and if the weather is nice go out and view the lake, but yesterday was different.
They arrived as our Paper Making class was beginning, they came into the screen room to watched as the children started the process, Lynn ask one of the ladies if she would like to help the children shred the paper so it could go in the blender, next several of the group are helping, NEXT they are making paper for themselves !!!!!!
Lynn’s daughter and her friend were helping the group with their project, they were great.
I have been blessed to see many thing at Oscar but this is the BEST.
Cell phone pictures not the best but I’m sure you will get the picture ~

PS
I just want to say thanks to Ed Burns and his wife as they have gone out of there way to always help this group.

Florida State Parks…
Mother Nature caused the annual All Trails Hike to be postponed. The combination of rain and chilly temperatures forced hike organizers to rechedule the event to January 30, 2010.
It’s a walk in the park. Rain or Shine!
Come join us on Saturday, January 9, 2010 for our annual All Trails Hike. The weather forecast is for a chilly start so dress in layers to stay comfortable as you walk. Friends of Oscar Scherer Park Inc., are stationed along the trails to keep you pointed in the right direction and to provide you with refreshments as you hike.
After you’ve completed the hike, join the Friends at the Nature Center for lunch and an ice cream sundae. If you’d prefer to hike just one trail you can start even later if you wish. There are six trails to choose from, including the ADA accessible Finley Trail, South Creek Trail, and the Green, Red, Blue and Yellow Trails. All have signage and maps. Hikers of all ages, and dogs on leashes are welcome. This has become the most popular hiking opportunity in our area. Don’t miss it. Cost for everything, to include entry to the park, is only $10. Let’s enjoy nature together along the trails.
You can download a registration form here, or register at the park Saturday morning.
My Wish for All of us in 2010
May peace break into your home and may thieves come to steal your debts.
May the pockets of your jeans become a magnet for $100 bills.
May love stick to your face like Vaseline and may laughter assault your lips!
May happiness slap you across the face and may your tears be that of joy
May the problems you had, forget your home address!
In simple words …………
May 2010 be the best year of your life!!!
