San Antonio's 2006 CITO and Park
Beautification Event!
Update: 04/23/06
Thank you everyone for all your
hard work!
Come help us, with the support of San Antonio's Park Department
and public volunteers, clean up and beautify one of San Antonio's
Parks. This is San Antonio's participation in "International Cache
In Trash Out Day 2006" .
Update: 04/12/06
There will be a group of volunteers from Toyota in the park the
same day, so we will be cleaning the southern part of the park. The
coordinates have been updated to show the location of the south
entrance.
WARNING: 04/12/06
Met with the park's managers today, and was made aware that there
is an overgrowth of poison ivy in the park. Those who react to
poison ivy are recommend to take protective measures. Bring a long
sleeve shirt, do not wear shorts, and bring any medication you
might need if you do come into contact with poison ivy.
Location:
Medina River Natural Area
15890 Highway 16 South
4.5 miles south of Loop 410
Date/Time:
April 22, 2006
8am - 1pm
Our Goal:
Our goal is to have fun while doing something good for the
community. Although we will only be at one of the city's parks, it
makes a big difference, and is greatly appreciated by everyone.
Project Details:
San Antonio Parks Department will provide the tools and supplies
and provide technical support during this project. Tasks may
include painting, trash pick up, tree/brush trimming, spreading
bark mulch or any labor intensive task that may be unique for the
particular park. Be prepared to get dirty, and bring some work
gloves. It's recommended to wear pants (not shorts), and open toe
shoes will not be allowed.
Volunteer Forms:
All volunteers must sign a "Release and Indemnification / Photo
Release Form". You can print the form to fill out and bring with
you, or you can fill one out when you get to the park.

Geocoins:
We have ordered some 2006 CITO Geocions, and will allow everyone
who attends to log the coins. There will also be some sort of
contest where the winner gets an unactivated 2006 CITO Geocoin.
Contest:
1. Geocoin Contest: We were originally going to have the person who
collects the most trash win the coin, but we have decided that it
wold be unfair to those who are not physically able to collect as
much trash as others, So there will be a drawing for the coin. Sign
in upon arrival to receive a name tag with a number that will be
used for the drawing.
Update: 04/23/06
Winner: The 2006 CITO Geocoin was awarded
to Andrew, of Team Red Fox, as a Purple Heart after taking a nail
through the foot.
2. CITO Containers Contest: Penny and Chris (cpnowak) were upset
that they had to work the day of the event, but have donated some
CITO Containers for the event. Inside one of the containers will be
a mark indicating who wins the ready to hide ammo can container
also donated by cpnowak. The CITO Containers will be handed out
with the name tags when you sign in. Thank you Penny and Chris for
your donation.
Update: 04/23/06
Winner: The "ready to hide" ammo box was
won by Chris, of G-Squad, who already has a hiding spot in
mind.
3. Jana's "Anthony or Lynn?" contest: Jana (cybercat) has posted a
poll in the SATXGeocachers Yahoo Group where you can vote,
or submit your own story about who will hit 1000 finds first,
AnthonyV or Ms.Teddybear. Read Jana's Message and place your vote in
Jana's Poll. The winner will receive a prize
from Jana at the event!
Update: 04/23/06
Winner: Cpnowak almost won this one, but
AnthonyV out did them by posting a "Nude Cacher Photo" at his 1000th find on
Sunday. Jana will award AnthonyV some BEER!
Food/Drinks:
Primary Plan: The group from Toyota will be having a BBQ lunch, and
if they allow us, we might be able to have lunch with them. We are
keeping the reservations at Bill Miller so we can still have lunch
there if Toyota says no.
Backup Plan: We are having lunch at Bill Miller BBQ
