Dear Mr. Archive,
I’m back from my two week break and would like to communicate a few notices on activities and events taking place.  There is still time to register for the fun and creative Childrens Workshops at the Lifetime Lab on Saturday, an enjoyable way for children to engage with the environment at a great venue.
 
The Cork Branch of the Irish Wildlife Trust is facilitating an information afternoon on Saturday at Beaumont Quarry and on Sunday 17^th is running a training on Ladybird Identification at Fota.
 
Bike Week is fast approaching, check out the website for a whole range of events throughout the week in the city and the county. We need volunteers for the new Operation Transportation initiative, so if you fancy the challenge why not sign up? We are also appealing for volunteer stewards for the Family Fun Cycles on Sunday 17^th & 24^th – if you are free and would like to help please get in touch.
 
Finally and further afield check out the Convergence Events happening in Cloughjordan tomorrow 6^th and on the 30^th June as well as the Collaborating For The Future We Want event in Dublin on the 20^th June.
