 PREZ PAMELA'S PROSE...It's been a crazy week. I evacuated from Eskaton to my son's in Wildwood for a few nights just to make sure all was safe...I know prayers go out to Amy and Chamba Cook (former owners of SummerThyme) who's home burnt down out by the Woolman school on the ridge...it's so very sad crying. On a lighter note, plans for our garden at Ready Springs are moving along...The grant to the district will be completed and we should receive word soon on our award. Mark Bailey and Gordon will begin constructing planter boxes and reconstructing the compost pile. They will need lots of extra hands so please send a note to either Mark Bailey mbailey836@aol.com or Lindy for Gordon at lindybeatie@gmail.com...we plan on making at least 8 planter boxes and have to "resurrect" three compost areas - see photo below for examples of each...Remember to submit your dues payment...you all should have received an email from Linda Swartz this week...if you did not receive an email from her, please let our Treasurer Ed McSweeney know...ed@mcsweeneyandassociates.com...dues can be paid in 2 installments and birthday/anniversary fines are due the month of the event...That's it for now...Stay safe, healthy and PURPLE!!
