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!
