    I am reposting Rick Stewart's post "Did some trailwork with some great teammates today, and got paid for it. Thanks Interface & PDX GreenTeam!" Remember they need volunteers every Tuesdays and Thursdays morning. If you are interested, I encourage you setup a group of friends and coworkers to make it even more enjoyable!
