Last Park work party for 2012
October 13th, 8:30 -11 am, our last work party for 2012We need to spruce up the Arbor Lodge Park and get it ready for winter and rain (we hope it will rain!). We don't have much to do. We need some light weeding, some bark mulch needs to be spread, and if it rains between now and then we can flame weed along the curbing on Bryant. We think we can do it all in 2.5 hours with your help. Come join us, meet a neighbor, share some donuts and grapes while you work and have fun. Thanks!
