The fall rake-a-thon cleanup starts 10:30 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 19, and continues over the weekend
Bob will meet people at the tool shed to get things going
We can send out for pizza and/or beer if sufficient interest and participation
Tasks
Rake leaves and spread in mulch areas, especially under spruce trees
Sweep leaves, cones, dirt etc off walkways and driveways
Cut low-hanging branches over walkways
Reasons
Members told us they did not want leaf blowers used unnecessarily (noisy and polluting, but may be necessary for snow clearing)
It saves money by doing it ourselves—no contractors and disposal fees
Better environmentally and for tree health to mulch as much as possible
Chance to get people together and do something for the environment and the community
