Heard from Pat Jones, chair of the neighborhood council, today. She held a special meeting and they finally have a quorum. Woo hoo! This is awesome. She said they voted in favor of supporting the tree planting. This means that we’ll be able to have them help pay for the second year’s maintenance of the trees! We’re $1900.00 short, so we can really use their support.

Less than 2-weeks till the big day! Can hardly wait!!

I posted the tree planting as an event on facebook and I have 28 confirmed volunteers. I was at Ralphs last night and asked the cashier if he was participating in the tree planting and he told me everyone working that day was going to participate. Glad to hear it! Pat says the NC board members are going to be there. Bernard Parks’ office sent out a flyer to their e-list of community members. We need one hundred, able-bodied volunteers, which is quite a lot, but I’m trusting things will work out.

Hope to see you there with gardening gloves on!
