Another Sunday in the books!! Just one more Sunday of summer remains.This Sunday will be our final meeting of 2014.......then, the semi-annual "It's My Park Day" scheduled for late October. Six new shrubs and perennial plants were added and one more "No BBQ" sign was installed. Again, this Sunday, September 21st, at 67th & Colonial Rd., 10:15 AM.

Last Sunday, September 7, saw two new Magnolia bushes and about a dozen Mums planted. The sprinkler park garden pits continue to show progress. As the summer is winding down, all of us here would love for everyone to make it down to 67th & Colonial this Sunday @ 10AM. A volunteer from Bay Ridge Cares also set up shop with us last Sunday and distributed info, posters and Gold ribbons. BIG NEWS OF THE WEEK........Puppet Show, Saturday, Sept. 13, 11AM Sharp.

Yes, this weekend the group will have a table set up and host whoever decides to lay low and stay local. 10:15 AM @ 67th & Colonial Road. 3 new tree plantings, 4 new shrubs, add in 2 more "No BBQ" signs, and a few more odd-jobs made for a great Sunday in the park. As September approaches, it would be the perfect time to welcome some new volunteers......please join us and get a first-hand look at what's been going on. An "It's My Park Day" has been tentatively scheduled for late October; we hope to have a firm date by next week. Remember, every Spring and Autumn, everyone turns out big-time to pitch in.
