Serving Our Community
Successful Spruce Up at Bounds Gardens Saturday
A productive squad of Dunwoody Rotarians, Tina Philpot, Ed Holliday, Bob O’Brien, and yours truly reported for spruce up duty this past Saturday at 0900.The usual activities were included: snipping, clipping, weed pulling, sweeping, blowing. We capped off the one hour session with planting some beautiful helleborus a.k.a. Lenten Roses (Icy White Rose) in the middle of the park.
Bob has observed on more than one occasion that no one in the group is under 60. (We don’t include Hoshi when he’s here because he is mentally ancient.) Let’s dispel the ugly rumor that only older, more attractive Rotarians are welcome to participate. After all, Hoshi may come if he isn’t sleeping in. Everybody is welcome, and your next chance is Saturday, May 8, 2021!
Look forward to seeing you!
