Hello, everyone.

We still need a few more volunteers at the Sutter-Meyer Farmhouse in University
City for the Mound City Archaeological Society's next excavation and survey day
on Saturday, July 7. The deadline to volunteer is the same night as our next
lecture at the Missouri History Museum: 7pm on Tuesday, July 3.

If you'd like to volunteer, it's important that you not simply "show up"
sometime on the excavation day; instead, e-mail or call us and tell us when to
expect you and how long you can stay. Weather permitting, we'll work from from
8:00am until 2:00pm, so be prepared to work at least two of the six hours.

We'll provide plenty of sunblock and cold, bottled water for everyone. We
strongly suggest that all volunteers should have received a tetanus shot within
the past five to ten years. Volunteers should also dress appropriately -- we
recommend light-colored, loose-fitting clothing that you don't mind getting
dirty.

Speaking of light-colored, loose-fitting clothing, we'd also like to remind
everyone that there are still a few of the new blue-on-tan Sutter-Meyer t-shirts
available in XL and 2X sizes. We're selling them for $18.73 (the year we believe
the farmhouse was built), with a portion of the proceeds going to the
newly-formed Sutter-Meyer Society. To view a photograph of the shirt, visit

The Sutter-Meyer Farmhouse was built around 1873 and is believed to be the
oldest standing house in University City. For more information about this
project, see our brochure at
