rang. When the equipment was finally put away and
the coolers packed up, there was that palpable sense of
pride that only a volunteer project can provide. One of the
landscapers said it best, “even when you do this day in
and day out, you can just feel how much of a difference a
project like this can make.” And I will add that it sure felt
good!
And to all of you who wanted to participate or thought
about participating, please know that we always have
room for more hard working, dedicated volunteers,
because while it is true that “Many Hands Make Light
Work,” even more hands make for lighter work. Thanks to
all who showed up and to those who couldn’t, we look
forward to seeing you next time.

I am not going to name names for fear of leaving
someone out, so we wish to thank and recognize the
following companies for their participation in the volunteer
service day (in no particular order):
Mullan Nursery Company
Murphy John’s
Leyland Landscape Contracting
Babikow Greenhouses
Kurt Bluemel
Manor View Farm
