Join us on Community Service Day, Saturday, October 13th from 9 a.m. – 12 p.m. Projects include: gardening/clean up; repainting the map & checkerboard on the playground & buddy benches; painting a red cross on the emergency supplies shed; and cleaning up books in the library. We have such a great supportive community! Our sign up is at 100% with 40 participants. But since some volunteers can only stay part of the morning due to other family obligations, we could still use extra hands.

If you’ve already signed up, or wish to sign up, please let me know if you can be a Crew Leader to guide volunteers and oversee our projects. Sign Up Here.
