Published on by echohillnorthLeave a comment

Thank you to the many, many EHN residents who  came out on this oasis of a beautiful day and once again helped make the clean-up a success! It was wonderful to have neighborhood veterans, new families, and kids working and socializing. Special thanks to Jim for flagging what to cut and what to keep, Faythe for the food and beverages, Paul and Arnie for building a box for toys and tools, Jessi and Jerry for getting the dock out, Alice, Joshua and Dick for the canoes, Sophie and Grace for taking care of the littlest EHN residents and everyone for making our pond and beach beautiful!  Our wonderful pond cannot be maintained without you all. Thank you again and again and ENJOY!

Date: Saturday, May 14 (rain date: Sunday, May 15)

Time: 10am – 1pm (come for as little or as long as you can!)

Join your neighbors in getting the pond ready for summer – we will rake weeds, collect debris, weed the beach, clear out invasive plants and launch the dock, of course. Wheelbarrows, canoes, tarps, rakes, shovels, clippers, etc. will be needed that day.

Thank you to the many, many EHN residents who helped make this such a successful and fun day. It was wonderful to have neighborhood veterans, new families, and happy kids. The task administration was superior this year – and we didn’t think Jim could possibly be more organized, but he beat his own high standards! Food and beverages were much appreciated and we were well sated and hydrated thanks to Faythe. Heroic efforts to launch and ground the spiffy dock by Paul and Steve. Cheery childcare, plenty of tools, and a hugely devoted crew. Our beautiful pond cannot be maintained without you all. Thank you again and again and ENJOY!
