Gary New Duluth Service Project Summary
GND REC - Gary New Duluth Recreation Center was Harbortown's spot for a little spring cleaning last week and had a beautiful morning!
 
Over a dozen members joined the effort and hauled out the chain saws, wheel barrows to clean out ditches, from the soccer fields to Commonwealth where the spring runoff collected a number of branches and trash downstream. We even had time to install a new basketball net.
 
A total of 24 hours were spent on the early morning project.
 
Don't forget to join us on Wednesday, May 26th from 4:30 to 6:30 PM when we return to the Gary New Duluth Veteran's Memorial to do some weeding, trimming, planting and mulching. Bring your garden tools and gloves! 
 
Please let Jinell know if you are able to attend! Jinell - jinellabernethy@gmail.com
