[RP TownTalk] Who's up for a Rain Barrel Roundup Friday March 20th?

[Dwight Holmes]

OK, folks here we go.
The day to get 55 lb. barrels at Pepsi is Fridays, from 6:30 a.m. - 2
p.m.  Barrels are $10 each and you *must* pay by check.

It is first-come-first-served - no reservations or set-asides. And
they often run out of barrels before 2 p.m.

So here's the plan. FRIDAY, March 20th, we will plan to be at Pepsi in
Cheverly by 7 a.m. so as to have the best chance of getting the number
of barrels we need.

If you're interested, please write me off list.  We'll organize the
trip (or trips) as needed depending on the number of people and how
many barrels we want.  We'll have one truck and do the number of trips
necessary.
