Veg Display Garden

A simple garden filled with surplus veg starts we installed this on Saturday, July 9th.

 Take a walk in Arboretum. Breath fresh air. See beauty.
 Feel happier. The science of it all says gardens are therapeutic. Have you ever had that experience? The thrill of seeing your plants grow and thrive? The pleasure of seeing a beautiful bloom?
So often we just rumble along on the daily grind.

 Don't rumble around all the time. Take a break.

 Stop for the Arboretum.

You will feel good when you do.

The Essence of Volunteerism

The essence of volunteerism is not giving 

part of a surplus one doesn't need,

but giving part of one's self.

Such giving is more than a duty of the heart,

but a way people help themselves

by satisfying the deeper spiritual needs

that represent the best that is in us.

United Way Day of Caring

  Friday was the best day. I had 17 volunteers and  myself, Peter Maurer and Van totaling 20 people at the Day of Caring.

 It was sunny and gorgeous.
