WE WILL HAVE A WORK PARTY AFTER SCHOOL ON WEDNESDAY, MAY 12, AT 2:30 pm.
Starbucks is sponsoring thiswork party. They will be sending 3 people to keep track of how many volunteers come to work and how many hours the volunteers will work. They are donating $10 per volunteer per hour! THE MORE VOLUNTEERS WE GET THAT DAY, THE MORE STARBUCK’S WILL GIVE US (UP TO $1,000) FOR A PROJECT THEY DO CALLED “MAKE YOUR MARK DAY.” The weather is forcasted to be beautiful and the garden needs your help. Come and help raise some funds to supply the garden.
This coming Saturday from 10am until 2pm there will be a work party at Birchwood Elementary to finish getting the school garden ready for Spring! Bring the family and come on out to support our neighborhood school.
Below is a list of things needed from Laura Phipps, the volunteer coordinator for the Birchwood School Garden.
Birchwood School Garden Wish List:
(We ask that all of these items be gently used and in good shape.
And we thank you!!)
3 wheelbarrows
8 watering cans (with diffused spray ends, I don’t know quite what to call it)
hoses
3 forks
2 leaf rakes
2 metal rakes
5 shovels
2 spades
Pruners
Loppers
More gloves (surprisingly, we can use more gloves, especially bigger kid gloves)
Tarps (large, clean)
Lots of cardboard (this is a time sensitive item. We need cardboard on or beforeApril 3rd, the day of our work party)
Tonight we had our February BNA board meeting. There are lots of things happening in our neighborhood from a development standpoint so make sure to attend the March general meeting to get all the relevant details and make sure to share your opinions about what is going on.
Last week we had a great Birchwood Neighborhood General Meeting! We elected 2 new members to the board and celebrated the retirement of Louise Bjornson from the city council. She has served our neighborhood well for many years and we wish her the best of luck in retirement!
Glad to be home. Solo road trip tomorrow and then home for good Wednesday night.
