We had a large crew today who worked super hard to complete the job of planting six additional trees and a Rose of Sharon at Sharon's Park. The first tree was planted this past Monday.

It was a fantastic community effort from the dedicated and knowledgeable staff of City Roots, our committed and hard working business people and our caring and enthusiastic residents. Thanks to you all. Those who were not involved today, please go down and take a look.

Gratefully,

Mike
