Jake is having another Eagle Scout work day on Monday, August 23 at 9:00 am to 2 pm. Scouts who want to attend should bring work gloves and work clothes. There will probably be more workdays on Tuesday and Wednesday if we cannot finish up on the first two days. Free food and water will be provided.

Jake Maline's Eagle Scout project is going to be Thursday at 8 am to noon at the Hudson Middle School. There will be other days, but that day is the first. If anyone can't make it is no big deal. There will be water and snacks for people who come to work. Scouts should wear sunscreen and bugspray if they want it. We'll be working by the garden area which is by the front office. If anyone can bring power tools and square-head drill bits that would be great. Scouts will need eye protection too. I'll need at least one other adult to be there. Sorry for the short notice as well.
