For anyone who would like to give a bit back to the efforts in and around Russell Mill trails and Chelmsford Ma Open Space, as well as have a great time with a bunch of outdoor nuts, PLEASE consider attending this event. "Open Space" has supported wholeheartedly all our efforts at Russell Mill and surrounding parcels such as Thanksgiving Forest abutting Great Brook Farm. Come help us out and be sure to have a few "roasting" comments for the man who made it all possible and has run interference for us for the last couple years. I'm sure a GOOD time will be had by ALL.

For four years, the Chelmsford Open Space Stewardship Program has helped to maintain about 900 acres of open space land in town, with volunteers donating more than 20,000 hours of their time maintaining trails, building foot bridges and kiosks, creating our community garden, beautifying the town, rallying local organizations and businesses, and much more. They do this all with an annual budget of $200 plus generous donations.
Friday, March 5th, will be the first fundraiser for COSS - the theme will be a roast of COSS founder and lead steward Phil Stanway in celebration of his 50th birthday, but it's also about all of the volunteers in the program. It's a night of fun entertainment, brief information about the program, as well as music and dinner at the beautiful new Chelmsford Elks. The goal is to raise money to ensure the stewards have the resources they need to continue what they're doing. The event will take place from 6 - 10 p.m and tickets are $25 each ($20 of which will go directly to COSS).
To order tickets, please contact Joanne Stanway at 978-273-1473 or jstanway@comcast.net.
