Ever find yourself bitching about how Detroit looks? Well, here's your chance to do something...
FWD:
Hello it’s Monique Torbert and I’m the Volunteer Coordinator at the Greening of Detroit. I know many times we plan activities with you, but this weekend we have a big tree planting (details listed below) with basically no volunteers. I was hoping you could spread the word to help get some people out, I’m reaching out to everyone I can to make this day successful.
I appreciate if you could do anything to help thanks a lot!
This Saturday April 5, 2008 at 9am
The Greening of Detroit in partnership with the City of Detroit’s Next Detroit Neighborhood Initiative and the University District Neighborhood Association will be adding 125 street trees to the area. These trees will be replacing diseased Ash trees that were recently removed by the City.
If you have any questions on the day of please feel free to call my cell (313) 995-3469
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
Volunteers should meet at 9am at Gesu Catholic Church, 17180 Oak Drive, Detroit, MI 48221. (On the corner of Oak Drive & Santa Maria) Park on the street. |

Yeah I just caught that FWD on the top I guess that means I should probably go on and hit the hay to spare myself from further dummy moments.
But yeah I used to work for em back when so I never have much of a problem helping when I can. Besides they are going to be like a few blocks from the parents spot might as well show up. |

Its a great cause. We did it in Palmer Woods with Joe Sulak from greening. Just make sure the folks with new trees remember to water deeply. Most of the trees survived. |
