Here’s a list of OUTDOOR tasks for this Saturday’s (May 17th) volunteer efforts at EC3, 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.:
- Dig a new trench from the parking lot space-that-always-floods to the playground fence. (Please bring shovels.)
- Rake and bag leaves from the fence surrounding the entire playground. (Leaf bags will be provided.)
- Weed and mulch the flower beds near the entrance, at the northwest corner of the property, and beneath the wooden sign on the front (Malcolm X Street) lawn. (We need mulch! There’s a big, FREE pile at Washington Park, can you load up a truck and bring it to EC3?)
- Cut down the ash tree re-growth (looks like a bush) at the east end of the parking lot, just outside the playground.
- Weed the garden boxes. (We’ve got loppers.)
- Mulch all the trees, including those on the playground. (We need mulch! See above.)
- Trim the bushes on the east side of the property, beneath the Gecko room windows. (Please bring clippers.)
- Sweep sand from the track back into the sandpit on the preschool playground. (We’ve got push-brooms.)
- Weed the cracks in the parking lots and sidewalks leading to the building, and treat them with Round-Up to prevent new growth. (Please bring Round-Up or other weed killer.)
Here’s a list of INDOOR tasks for this Saturday’s (May 17th) volunteer efforts at EC3, 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.:
- Move furniture/appliances away from walls in the main kitchen and the Penguin room, including the wall in Big Room that adjoins the Penguin room.
