What: - CITO - The posted Coordinates take you to the base area for the CITO, there you can sign the log and grab what you need. This CITO event is unique compared to other events, I don’t want you to sit/stand around for too long, there is work to be done! I’m not supplying seating or refreshments this is slave labour! Your reward and incentive is my eternal gratitude combined with that warm fuzzy feeling you get inside when you have done something good and of course the official souvenir! I MIGHT look into an unactivated TB as a prize for one lucky team.
Where: - Pakenham – You need to go to the posted coordinates to sign the log and collect a bag or two for rubbish collection. Unfortunately it's only a small amount of time that I have available for this CITO Saturday 17th September 2016 10:00am - 11:30am. The are not many CITO events published so far for this souvenir and are few and far between in this area so belt up and make the necessary arrangements to attend!
FAQs
What should I bring? - A good attitude, some humour and elbow grease. Although I will be supplying some Gloves and Bags if you already have some bring them along. Of course bring some water to drink and wash your hands.
What should I wear? - Sturdy footwear, (Matt not thongs, you know what happened last time!) Gloves if you have them (latex gloves provided) and clothing appropriate for all 4 seasons, after all it is Melbourne!
Will there be any FTF’s available on the day? Maybe ;)
What if I break a nail? Suck it up princess! I will be in the area and will have a small first aid kit with me. I suggest if you do hurt yourself that you seek medical advice, I’m only a Vet Nurse and I have only practiced CPR on deceased animals.
What if I find syringes or other sharps? Don’t touch them! Record their location, communicate that back to me and we will make a report to the council. Alternatively if you have the Snap Send Solve App on your phone you can use that to report them.
