As the year comes to a close, all of us at Groundwork Lawrence would like to thank you for all you do to support our important work of

Green Team at the Spicket River Clean-up 2013

changing places, changing lives. 

This year we have a lot to be proud of, from launching a new urban farm at Costello park to expanding work with youth in the Green Team and through our Schoolyard Garden programs. This year, in collaboration with the City of Lawrence, we celebrated the ribbon cutting of the Spicket River Greenway as well as great improvements to theCampagnone Common including a great new playground.

With your support and partnership, we cleaned our parks and rivers during Earth Day, Comcast Cares Day as well as during the Spicket River Clean up. In addition, as a result of donors like you, this year we were able to take care of our rivers and public spaces by hiring a stewardship crew to work during the summer months.

From attending a clean-up event, to the giving of financial support, your efforts to be a part of our work are felt and deeply appreciated.

We wish you well in the upcoming New Year and look forward to continuing our work together to make Lawrence an even better place to live, work and play.

Warmly,

Heather McMann

Executive Director
