plant (5); mow (2); weed (4); landscape (4); drive (1); collect native
plants (5); cultivate native plants (3); materials for benches (1);
provide rocks (2); use of dump truck (1) and pick-up truck (2). Some
offered their own suggestions for helping which included 2 logs from
an 1880s cabin, cooking food for volunteers on work days, graphic

One individual gave a check and pledged to make a donation each month

PARK WORK GROUP PLANS FIRST MEETING
Thanks to a suggestion at the Park Plan Unveiling we have decided to
form a work group of individuals who would like to be actively
involved in getting the park built. The first meeting of the group
will be Monday, Nov. 28 at 6:30 pm in the Library/lounge at Trinity.
We will be looking at coming up with a Strategic Plan for park
completion that will include developing an Awareness Campaign, a
Funding Plan, and Volunteer Coordination. Please consider joining us
and inviting others.
SPECIFIC VOLUNTEER NEEDS:
- A webmaster to set up and help maintain a Trinity Eco Prayer Park
website
- A person to set up and maintain a system (spreadsheet) to keep track
of volunteers and the tasks they are interested in helping with
