Grounds Clean Up Day September 10

We are having a “Get out the Vote” event on Sept 20. The UUA president will be here speaking and many members of the Athens community will be in attendance. We have a beautiful facility to hold the event in. We have a great landscape but it is in need of some attention. The rains and hot weather have the grass and other plants growing like crazy. There are weeds to pull, mulch to spread, plants that need trimming, and plenty of other work to be done. 

We need volunteers to help clean the grounds. 

Please come out and help us on Saturday, September 10, starting at 9 am. We’ll be there until noon at least. If you can only come for one hour, that’s fine – we’ll take as much help as you can provide. Wear comfortable clothing that you don’t mind getting dirty and bring gloves if you need them. You may also want to bring water or some other drink and snacks. It’s can be hot out there. 

If you have any questions contact Mark Williams.
