Many Hands make Light Work and a Delicious Lunch

 The clean-up crew did a fabulous job last Saturday raking, weeding, pruning and sprucing up our grounds. Most of the cedar hedge that had dried up was pulled and the large hemlock branches hanging over the north entrance path were lopped off. A record 1474 pounds of garden waste was hauled off to the landfill! Thank-you to all gardeners, weeders and tree pruners! 

The clean-up day coincided with the last day of the Spring session of our Ukrainian-English Conversation Group. We celebrated with a potluck lunch featuring Ukrainian dishes, folk-singing, hugs, and lot of laughter. We were delighted that some of the clean-up volunteers could join us to help celebrate our accomplishments. Pastor Vida, and teacher Natalia Zaliznyak handed out Certificates of Participation to alumni of the Fall and Spring Sessions and we are looking forward to host a third conversation circle in the Fall.
