are invited to our Fall clean-up day
Tentative schedule is for Monday, November 15, at 10:00 a.m. The forecast is iffy so we will plan on postponing each day until we have more favorable weather. Projects include: raking/blowing fallen leaves/branches, cutting back trees/shrubs, weeding/cleaning out the rose hedge, flower bed care and anything else people can think of to make our grounds attractive. If you have rakes, gardening gloves, etc. please bring them.
I am planning on getting some sub sandwiches for lunch, unless someone has another suggestion. Please see me after our Evening Service on Sunday or contact me at 244-4582 if you plan to help. I would like to contact you if we have to postpone due to weather and to take your lunch orders. NEWTS, let's make our grounds something we are all proud of - who knows, maybe some fun will break out as well. Thank you.
