Another successful grounds clean-up happened this weekend! All this work will benefit families at the park, players on the ball field, renters in the hall, and the community via fire safety.

This crew was able to get so much done in a day, including:
- grounds garbage cleanup
- dead brush cleanup
- tree removal
- roof drainage cleanup
- removal of pine needles from the playground
- playground equipment maintenance
- rink cleanup
- freezer emptying and cleaning

We can't emphasize enough the connections, friendships, community, and satisfaction you'll feel when you make time to contribute to your community. I hope these smiles will encourage you to join us at the next opportunity!

Special thanks to Harvey Henkel for organizing the work bee. Another special thanks to Lynne Scheideman for an amazing lunch. Thanks to everyone who brought tools. Thanks to Russell Scheideman for your behind-the-scenes contribution.
