Each Saturday we will have a working lunch. There are very few local food options, all of them over 5 miles away so bring a bagged lunch, snacks and beverage. I will have a pot of coffee brewing and hot water for tea or cocoa. The classroom has a refrigerator and a microwave.

A detailed agenda, with additional information for each week's class/activities, will be posted on the blog at http://hillsboroughfmnp.blogspot.com plus reminders posted on the FMNP-Hillsborough Facebook page:  https://www.facebook.com/fmnp.hillsborough .
