Tuesday, January 1 – River Walk with the Friends of the River Banks
Neighbors also are welcome to join FORB for a spontaneous celebration of the new decade on January 1, 2010. As in past
years, the gathering will begin around 9:00 a.m. just below Sutter’s Landing. Hot beverages and homemade oatmeal cookies
will be provided. Final details will be confirmed by e-mail. Finally, projecting further ahead, a bird watchers’ walk led by a member
of the Audubon Society is planned for Saturday, February 13. More details will be printed in that month’s issue of Park Beat.
Additional information about the First 5 Sacramento Commission is online at www.First5Sacramento.net or by calling 876-5865.
As always, participants should dress appropriately for a waterside activity. It is a good idea to bring a snack, bottled water,
and, depending on the weather, sunscreen or mosquito repellant. To learn more about Friends of the River Bank, please

News from Friends of the River Banks
By Catherine Turrill
November’s outing celebrated the wild mushroom. Daryl Lindsey, an amateur mycologist, helped participants identify about five
different kinds of mushroom and fungus. So successful was this event, attracting several new participants, that plans are afoot for a
possible excursion by Light Rail to Folsom, where a different substrate supports different varieties of mushroom. Tentatively scheduled
for December, the Folsom fungus trip would be open to all and will be confirmed by e-mail. For more information about any FORB
events, or to be added to the e-mailing list, please contact Laurie Litman at llitman@pacbell.net.
