Learn more and register at https://www.bloomingtonbicycleclub.org/tour-des-ramps/. Not your thing but you'd like to help out?  We are looking for volunteers to help serve sandwiches at the lunch stop.  Please contact Keith Bobay at volunteer@friendsoflakemonroe.org for more information and to sign up! Septic Maintenance Program Launching in Jackson County Have any friends in northwestern Jackson County?  Let them know that thanks to generous sponsorship from the Raymond Foundation, we are offering up to $200 off septic tank pumping for households in the Lake Monroe watershed.  Our goal is to increase awareness of septic system care - like pumping your septic tank every 3-5 years. Households in the watershed (Freetown, Kurtz, Houston, etc.) can receive 50% off their septic pumping expenses, up to $200.  Details and an application are available at www.friendsoflakemonroe.org/septic. Support Our Work - Donate Today!
