We had a very successful work day on Sunday. WIth the help of our enthusiastic volunteers we were able to spread fresh mulch in all the play areas; demolish the old swing set and benches; pressure wash the decks, eating benches, and buildings; weed and prune the landscape areas; and mostly complete our new fence. Best of all we got a chance to spend time together in a spirit of community. Thanks to Saradiya, Lalita Sakhi, and Nataka-chandrika, we also enjoyed a wonderful lunch. Thank you to the following volunteers who labored for many hours in the hot sun:
I want to offer a special thanks to Saranga Thakura, our community's master carpenter. He donated a full day of his expertise, labor, tools, and materials to help us install over 450 feet of fence board. The end result is beautiful and it certainly wouldn't have been possible without him.
We still have a few projects left to finish. If anyone has a few hours to spare and are inclined to help out, please call the school office at 386-462-2886 or email me at visvam@bhaktivedantaacademy.org.
