Unitarian Universalist Society Cleanup 9/13/08

Hi Folks,

Wow! What a haul! (Saturday's) band of unabashed trash-collectors really scored big-time in cleaning up the UU mile of the Parkway today. In the photo, from left, Linda Tanforan, Bill Becker, Pat Skeels, Kate Mullinger, and Jeff Voeller hauled out 15 bags of trash, a shopping cart, old chair, swim fin, and (drum-roll please...) the incredibly heavy, rusty safe that finally made Jeff Voeller's day when, after participating in its discovery months ago, he dragged it up a steep, sandy bank and hand-trucked it to the collection area. Celebration of our accomplishments and fun conversation followed after at Panera.

Regrettably three additional good-hearted and willing folks missed our departure but left a note on my car. Thanks for trying! Please come back next time!

With appreciation for a fun, productive morning,

Dave Dawson

Acorns Needed!!

Hello Stewards!!
Since you are the ones out on the Parkway, Dianna thought that you would be the best people to help us with a big project. By the end of October the Foundation has to collect 2,000 acorns for the coming planting season. These acorns must be from the Parkway and must be brown. They cannot be green or cracked.

I am asking that anytime you are out on cleanups or just walking, please keep your eye out for acorns that we may be able to use for planting next season. These acorns can then be brought to the Parkway Foundation office at 5700 Arden Way in Carmichael.

If you have any other questions please give me a call at (916) 486-2773.

Christina
