(and you don’t even have to sweat or get your fingernails dirty!)
Are you a creative type? Do you like to take on one off projects? Would you like to work with other neighbors? If so, I invite you to reach out to me at jmstruebbe@gmail.com. I have a small team together, but I am looking for someone who perhaps could chair this group, plus anyone else who would like to help. I am looking for creative and fun ways to raise funds for ongoing beautification efforts, that perhaps could go beyond asking for donations and could also serve to build community. In the spring of 2021, I chaired the “before the makeover tour” of the house on Beechwood Avenue. That was a major project. But ongoing efforts do not have to be as dramatic, if you don’t want them to be. Perhaps we could have a mulch sale or a bulb sale or a flag sale or any number of things. Your creativity can expand the list. Please reach out to me if this is something you feel called to help with!
