MONTHLY CALENDARS
Gardening Workday Saturday, September 16th 8am-12pm
Please consider joining Ms. Sue for an outdoor Garden Workday on Sept 16 from 8:00 - 12:00.
If you can't stay for the whole time, consider just coming for part of the time. All help is appreciated.
The Focus for the day:
*Garden Courtyard
*Raised Garden Areas
*Trimming
*Turning soil
*Adding compost to garden beds
*Major weed removal in Garden Courtyard
I am hoping to get both garden areas ready for fall and winter vegetables. I have some tools to share but if you have clippers, gloves, pitchforks and wheel barrows please bring them.
I will have some bagels, coffee and juice to share to keep our energy up.
Please let us know you are coming! A sign up sheet is in the main hallway under the Garden Bulletin Board. Sign up by September 13th. This will give us plenty of time to add your name to the security team so they allow you on campus during the weekend.
Thanks so much and hope to see you there!

**This holiday is designated as "Washington’s Birthday" in section 6103(a) of title 5 of the United States Code, which is the law that specifies holidays for Federal employees. Though other institutions such as state and local governments and private businesses may use other names, it is our policy to always refer to holidays by the names designated in the law.
