Volunteers are not paid - not because they are worthless, 

but because they are priceless.

                                   ~Sherry Anderson

   

Dear Supporter, 

 

 

A huge shout out to the nearly 10,000 volunteers who turned out for our two spring clean-up and beautification events-Canal Clean Sweep and I love My Park Day. We can't thank you enough! 

 

You raked, planted, hammered, sawed, dug, carried, painted, cleared, cleaned, constructed, assembled, and collected...and had a lot of fun doing it!  The gift of your time is truly priceless.

 

Now that the weather is finally starting to warm up, I hope you can get out and enjoy the fruits of your labor at your favorite park or trail.

 

Best,

Robin
