Linda writes: Hello Common Ground Toledo Volunteers

Please donate an hour of your time if you can Friday morning starting at 10 a.m. for weeding of the garden by the Veteran's Memorial at Kemp-Olsen Park.

Thank you to all who came out (Thursday) morning and put a dent in the weeds but more needs to be done.

MANY HANDS MAKE LIGHT WORK.

Bring a hand trowel, something to kneel on, and a hat to keep the sun out of your eyes...seriously! The weather's forecast to be very nice!

It's my only show in my hometown, and it's with many of my favorite people and musicians at one of my favorite places in the world.
Bring your friends! All-ages.
