There's a great event on 9/20-9/21/08 (Saturday-Sunday) at Big Bear. It's a event where we help kids from the city experience the forest. We volunteer to drive them on a easy trail and encourage them to talk on the CB (one will be provided if you don't have one). Boy will ride with guys and girls will ride with ladies.
Here are the details.

EVENT DESCRIPTION:
- The Anaheim Police Activities League and YMCA bring 100 kids -- 50 boys on Saturday and 50 girls on Sunday up to Big Bear by bus.
- Upon arrival the kids are divided into two groups each day: one group goes on the trail ride and the other group enjoys activities at the Discovery Center. In the afternoon the two groups switch activities. More than 90% of the kids, ages 8-12, have never been to the forest.
- During the trail ride each child sits in the front passenger seat, chats with the driver, talks on the CB, and enjoys a 4WD ride in the San Bernardino National Forest.
EVENT TIME & PLACE:
- The 8th Annual KOPL event is scheduled for the weekend of September 20-21, 2008 (Sat & Sun). Okay to volunteer for one day.
- Volunteers should plan to arrive by 8am at the Discovery Center. If you are a driver, park in the upper parking lot. If you are a helper, park anywhere except the upper parking lot. Check-in is located in the upper parking lot. We expect the buses to arrive sometime around 9:00 am.
