Update – Jan 31, 2013

First, the trusty worker bees have put in 45 hours in the park in January – we had a few days above freezing so we mulched, weeded and fenced – all the usual activities. We have a great group of workers.

noteSecondly, to the right is a scanned picture of a note that was written by the daughter of one of our new helpers. The young girl is about 10 yrs old. She asked if she could sit in my truck and drink her smoothie for a few minutes – I saw her writing something on the back of the label for the roll of fence. Later when I read what she said, I knew I wanted to share it with you.

Thirdly, click here for the official brochure for the Green Neighborhood Forum—a Saturday morning event at Hood College to be help on March 2nd. Friends of Baker Park is the main sponsor, and FWP is co-sponsoring, meaning that we are promoting the event. I thought the workshops sounded quite interesting and am planning to attend. The registration form is right on the brochure. Feel free to pass the brochure along to anyone who might be interested. I will put a few copies of the brochure in the kiosk in the park if you prefer to get one there. You can even register online by going here.

Hope you are all having a good winter.
