Dandelion Removal Party at Fairlawn - coming soon!

Hi to all Earth Angels of Fairlawn,
I am organizing a "Dandelion Removal Party" in the near future. Refreshments will be served.

A one to two hour donation of your time would be a big help to make our church beautiful for spring and summer.

Please contact Margaret Kolcze at margaretkolcze@yahoo.ca for information, or stay tuned to hear about the date as soon as we schedule it.

Thank you very much
Margaret Kolcze

 

Our new volunteer garden coordinator

Margaret Kolcze sends thanks for our warm and encouraging reception as Fairlawn’s new garden coordinator and for your help this spring.

 

Here are our current volunteer requirements:

  • join forces with a friend and adopt a garden at Fairlawn to help with the watering and weeding over the summer

  • volunteer to plant donations of plants and bulbs to make our lawn and garden look wonderful this summer -- please bring your own gloves and digging tools! Dates and times are very flexible.

  • make a donation of a plant, soil, bone meal, etc., by contacting Margaret Kolcze

  • For other jobs, see the sign up sheet in the outer church office this week listing dates and jobs. 

You will love the garden display when we all work together!

 

Please contact Margaret Kolcze or at coffee hour if you can help to get our church garden ready for Summer.

Our Mandate
The mandate of Fairlawn Green Action is to raise awareness, educate and promote action to help us become better stewards of the Earth, as part of Faith in Action. We should understand and live every day in a way that respects the interdependence we have on the Earth and its web of life.

Climate change is one of the most pressing issues threatening our planet, its inhabitants, society and the economy -- making it a very important social justice issue. Fairlawn Green Action's focus is to educate and act to combat global warming and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, for a just and sustainable world.
