Every Thursday through Monday--Nici Self Historical Museum Open for Regular Summer Hours Museum open noon to 4 Thursday through Monday through Labor Day weekend. Closed Tuesday and Wednesday. (If you're interested in helping out at the museum, there is still a need for volunteers. You can reply to this e-mail and I'll refer you.)

4th--Museum Cleanup Day Nici Self Historical Museum @ 9:30 am. Come help clean the museum inside and out for the summer season. The last couple of years, only a couple of people have come out to help with this effort. The museum could really use some additional folks to help for even an hour this year. There are some large things that have blown in during the last couple of winters that take more than one person to move. So if you have an hour to spare on Saturday, your help would be greatly appreciated.

In other news:

Those of you who live in North Fork may have noticed the construction that's begun on Cutacross Road. I received an e-mail from the new owners of that home being built by Deerwood Log Homes. Galyn and Julie Stahl, currently of Laramie, hope to be out here by next spring, and look forward to joining our community.

I also had an e-mail from someone who is offering to do house- and dog-sitting this summer. If you're in need of these services, you can reply to this e-mail and I'll put you in touch.

The forecast for this weekend is "warm" so we all know what that means. The National Weather Service is issuing a hydrologic outlook every couple of days. You can find a link to that outlook on Centennial's forecast page, http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?CityName=Centennial&state=WY&site=CYS&textField1=41.3&textField2=-106.11

A more local outlook can be found on the library's web page, http://www.centenniallibrary.net/index.html

Finally, if you are in need of sandbags to protect your property before the community effort kicks off, you can contact CVVFD volunteer Eric Gregory. He can be reached at 745-0497, or if you're really lucky and he's not too far up the hill, you can try his cell phone at 760-1653. Remember, if you see water where it shouldn't be, or notice a rapid rise or drop in the river, call Laramie Dispatch at 721-2526. They will contact the proper authorities and page the resources needed to deal with the situation.
