Day of Service 2026
We are getting closer to the Day of Service. Here below are pertinent information:
Registration: For those already signed up (including their children), you are all set! For those who want to volunteer but cannot due to the project being full, please do 2 things:
1) Email Sherry S. and let her know how many people need to sign up.
2) Sign up for the other opportunity at Willow Springs Park (register here) so at least your info is already in their system. Wendy and I are working on talking to the on-site coordinator to add the rest of our group and get the waiver for the compost volunteer project. If we are not able to reach anyone, I will visit them on Friday since they have a Composting 101 Workshop from 2-3p.
