Cheyenne Chapter, NSDAR

A reminder of the Arboreteum tour arranged by State Historian, Anne Holman

Hello WYDAR Members:

I hope everyone is having a great summer.

The WYDAR history field trip to the High Plains Arboretum is scheduled for Monday, August 4th, 11:00 am to 1:00 pm.

There will be a guided tour on foot from 11:00 to 12:00, then from 12:00 to 1:00 we will get on a trolley to continue the tour for about one more hour.

The tour is free but we are paying for the trolley, so I need to know who will be attending to make sure we have enough people to cover the cost of the rental.

I have only heard from a few people who have indicated that they are coming--not enough to justify the trolley. I need more attendees or I may need to cancel.

Please contact me by Tuesday, July 29th, if you are planning to come. (People who have already said they want to come should also touch base with me again so I know you are still available.) As I said, if I don't have enough attendees, I will need to cancel the trolley; we may still be able to do the walking tour.

I sure hope you will join us and learn about this truly special, history-making place in our state.

Best wishes to all,
Anne Holman
WYDAR State Historian
