April is our busiest time of the year. We being with road-side litter clean-up, then open up the town's e-waste bin on a Saturday for folks who cannot stop by during the week. Some years we are able to coordinate a Paper Shredding event with the town clerk. Finally, as supply lasts, we have a Black Gold day (fully composted cow manure, that is, for you garden). If you are a member, you will receive email reminders. Please consider becoming a member. It's only $20 per year!

We'll never understand what motivates them, but vandals damaged and totally destroyed four of our gateway signs last year. All totaled, six of eight signs were down! We have not been defeated, however. We ordered new and slightly improved signs this spring and they are up! |
