#4) The Eau Claire Amazing Clean-up day is April 23, starting at 9am. I am forming a team to spread mulch at the two gardens at North River Front and McDonough Park. The Boys and Girls Club will send some youth that day too. My request from the ECMGVA is to bring wheelbarrows, pitchforks, and racks to help spread the mulch.

Please let me know if you are interested in attending any of these activities. ~Erin LaFaive
