April 12, 2016

The Claudius Crozet Park‘s Pitch-In at the Park
this Saturday, April 16 from 9 am to 4pm

Your help is needed!  This third annual maintenance event keeps our community park fit and ready for an entire year of use. This year’s event, sponsored by BB&T Bank, brings together volunteers and businesses throughout the community and makes it possible to complete many of the Park’s annual maintenance activities.

There are several items that so far have no volunteers, including landscaping, pond-side and fence-line clearing, and firewood splitting.

Lunch will be provided to ALL volunteers.

Please sign-up to spend a half-day or full-day and feel free to participate in as many projects as you wish; no need to skimp!  This is a significant effort and we need everyone’s help. Sign up to help at:   http://www.signupgenius.com/go/9040d4aa4a72aa57-pitchin2
