	MAY 7 SATURDAY     Alcoa Flower Garden Community Project Volunteers Needed	Alcoa Flower Garden Community Project Saturday, May 7, 2011  8:00 AM - 12:00 PM     On Saturday morning, May 7, employees, family members, and friends are invited to plant flowers in Alcoa's adopted floral bed at the intersection of General Robinson and Anderson Streets near the Alcoa Corporate Center.  Alcoa volunteers will join forces with the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy (WPC) and 12,000 other volunteers from local neighborhoods, schools and businesses to plant 140 community gardens in 20 counties this spring http://www.paconserve.org/243/community-gardens.   WPC’s community gardens have become a signature feature of the western Pennsylvania landscape. Appearing in varied locations with many different configurations, the gardens provide a backdrop and enhancement for other cultural and civic assets. The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation estimates that more than 5 million people per day see the results of this volunteer effort.   In addition to the initial planting on May  7, volunteers are also needed to help maintain the garden throughout the growing season.  This involves minimal weeding and watering of the garden using the site's drip irrigation system.  If you would like to participate on May 7 and/or throughout the growing season to help maintain the garden, please reply by Friday April 29.  Please copy the attached form, paste it into an new email, fill it out, enter "Alcoa Flower Garden Volunteer Form" into the subject, and email it to Don Moeslein  (Donald.Moeslein@alcoa.com).  We think you'll find your participation to be a fun and rewarding experience.  Participants will receive additional information prior to the event.  Please contact Don Moeslein (412-553-2153) if you have questions or comments. Thank you! Attendance at Life! events constitutes permission for the Company to publish or use the attendee's photograph from such events. Back to Top

NON-PARC ORGANIZED TRIPS:

    GUIDELINES

The PARC Program Committee has been asked about promoting PARC member participation in group tours that have not been organized by the PARC Program Committee. 
An example is the National Parks trip, organized by a PARC member, where anyone can participate and groups are welcome.  While such trips will not be sponsored by PARC, we have developed the following guidelines to permit ‘advertising’ a specific trip in the PARC newsletter and on the web site.  These are:

1. the trip must be organized by a PARC member or an Alcoa employee,
2. that person must participate in the trip, and
3. if there are any trip rebates, including group discounts and free trips for having a certain number of attendees, these must be equally shared by all participants.
