What's Happening New 49er Miners!!!
As we all know, or at least the majority of our local miners know, the office has had a picnic table off to the side of our building that provides a great sitting area, and shade from the hot sun. It rests within the bounds of our member Wi-Fi as well, which allows certain individuals to make calls to family or access online services they might not be able to get too while mining on our claims.

THAT BEING SAID, it has become an issue recently that peoples from all walks of life around town are beginning to leave trash around our rest area.

PLEASE REFRAIN FROM LEAVING ANY AND ALL TRASH AT THE NEW 49ERS REST AREA!

it only takes one to ruin a good thing for everyone. So, within reason of course, and just like on all of our claims, if you see trash left at our rest area please pick it up.

Thank you all for your cooperation and support!!
