Joy Avenue Pathway Work Party - Sat. June 16 - 10 am - 1 pm

[Peter Guttchen]

To NENA members and other interested folks,

 

Join with your neighbors on Saturday, June 16 from 10 am to 1 pm for our next Joy Avenue Pathway work party.  At this NENA event, we'll be finishing up our work mulching the site with cardboard and chips and removing blackberry plants and other invasives that we missed during our early work parties.

 

And, we'll be installing a beautiful new stone bench created by the sculptor Erin Rants, who generously donated it to NENA for the Joy Avenue pathway.   Erin is the daughter of Rozanne Rants, one of NENA's board members who lives near the Joy Avenue pathway. 

 

Wear sturdy shoes, dress for the weather, and please bring a pitchfork or shovel, work gloves, cardboard boxes, and a wheelbarrow (if you can) to the work party.   If you don't have tools or work gloves, we'll have some available for you to use. The project site is located in the 1600 block of Bethel Street about 1.5 blocks north of the SF Bakery.

 

This project, funded in part by a generous grant from the City of Olympia's neighborhood matching grant program, will make it safer and easier for students to walk and bike to Roosevelt and Reeves, and will help all of us get active and get connected.  More information can be found on NENA's website at Joy Avenue Pathway. 

 

I look forward to seeing you on Saturday, June 16.

 

Best regards,

 

Peter Guttchen

NENA Vice President
