It is with much gratitude that we say a huge Thank You to all who came down to the Commons Park on their own and also those who showed up on our first workday (keeping social distancing of course). Thank you to Carol Kutsche, Brian Miller and Mike McMahon who, on their own, spent time clearing the flower bed of leaves. And also for our first workday, thank you and a virtual hug to Andrew Larsen, Carol Kutsche, Shirley Johnson, Pastor Chris Hanley, Mary Sawers, Ken Schumaker Toni & Dave Moore & Mike McMahon.
Suggestion If you and/or your family are taking walks in the neighborhood consider picking up any debris you might find on your walk even if it’s through one of our Parks. Stay safe . . . if you have one of those metal picker-uppers great! If not wear rubber gloves.
