Serving the City as One

This is an invitation from Zach Best to help out West Mastin Lake Elementary School on April 19th.  This is a great opportunity to get your hands dirty for a good cause and share your witness.  I’ll be there with my gloves and yard tools.  The actual time to meet is 7:30 in the commons area on Saturday morning.  I hope to see you there too.

Howdy all -

I want to remind you that we have our Serving The City work day on Saturday April 19th. Our project will be landscaping/landscape clean-up at West Mastin Lake Elementary School (about 1/4 mile east of Jordan Lane/Hwy 53 on Mastin Lake Road). I met with the principal today and scoped out the job and there’s quite a bit more to do than I initially envisioned from just driving by. I will be putting together a task list over the next week that we can work from. Recommend we meet up at Mt. Zion in the Green Gym at 7:00 so we can get started by 8:00. Here’s a rough list of what we’ll be doing so you’ll have an idea of equipment needed (general yard tools):

- mowing, edging, weed eating, blowing off walks
- trimming hedges/trees
- digging out grass and replacing with beds/mulch
- weeding/sprucing up existing beds
- planting (few trees to lots of flowers)

The school has two interior court yards that that are fairly neglected. One has a few picnic tables, the other doesn’t. If anyone has a source for commercial grade picnic tables and we could afford a couple of them, that would be great. Would have to be assemble on-site. The only access to these court yards are individual 3-0 doors.

Thanks,
Zach Best
