Spread Bark at Lion’s Park

My apologies for the short-notice on this:

Friday, April 26, 2013, 9:30AM until 12:00PM at Lion’s Park

Park Stewardship is looking for volunteers of all ages to put their hands together and contribute to spreading fibar on the playground at Lions Park. Not only will this help to maintain the beauty of the park, but most importantly, it will keep our children safe while they play in this public space.

With enough hands, we can efficiently complete the work and have fun at the same time! Please alert volunteers to dress for the weather and wear sturdy shoes or boots that can get wet and muddy. Note that youth under age 14 must be accompanied by an adult and all youth under 18 years must have a signed Waiver and Medical Alert or have a parents’ signature on the sign-in roster at the project work site.
