Good afternoon, everyone.

Just a quick, late reminder that volunteers from the Mound City Archaeological
Society will be re-opening the excavation units at the Sutter-Meyer Farmhouse
site.

The Sutter-Meyer Farmhouse was built around 1873 and is believed to be the
oldest standing house in University City. It is located at 6826 Chamberlain
Court, which is one block north and west of the intersection of Ferguson and
Olive.

Please note that the house has not yet been de-winterized, so we won't have
access this weekend to the bathroom inside the house. We hope this will pose
only a minor inconvenience for crew members; there are a couple of fast-food
restaurants with public facilities nearby, should the need arise.

We'll begin around 9am and end around 3pm. If you'd like to volunteer, please be
prepared to work at least half of that time. Visitors are welcome to stop by and
visit anytime during that period, although be warned that if you stand around
long enough, we just might try to put you to work.

We'll provide plenty of sunblock and cold, bottled water for everyone.
Volunteers should dress appropriately (although the weather forecast is
promising, we recommend wearing layers which you can easily take off or put back
on, as necessary).

We also strongly recommend that all volunteers should have received a tetanus
shot within the past five to ten years; as usual, we'll ask you to sign a "hold
harmless" agreement before we let you work.

Hope to see you tomorrow,

Greg
