Bayside Intermediate School garden project

Hello LCGC members!

Mr. Chet Walker, the special education teacher at Bayside Intermediate sends his gratitude to our club and to the members who came to the last workday for their rain garden project.

The next workday with students, parents, teachers is April 8 from 9 am to 11 am. They will be planting the Drummund Maple that our club donated to this project, along with a few fruit trees and some rain garden plants.

Can you join us on April 1? If you can, please let Hedy Wolpa know.

Many thanks to all of our volunteers for this project who help fulfill our club's mission to help our local schools.

Regards, Hedy Wolpa
