Mulch Madness & the month of March
I hope you are as excited as I am about Mulch Madness!  The orders keep coming in!
 WE NEED EVERY YOUTH FAMILY to help with our work day on March 10.  Due to the sheer volume of mulch orders, there is a good chance that we will need to schedule a second work day!!  That means that we will need to play March by ear.  If we finish our work, we will have regular youth activities from March 11 till spring break.  But Mulch Madness support is growing fast!  So be ready to change plans a bit if necessary.  March 17 is our rain day and will also serve as a "second" work day if we need it.

Important Info about the month of March!
I hope you are as excited as I am about Mulch Madness!  The early response has been amazing and we still have three weeks to go.  WE NEED EVERY YOUTH FAMILY to help with our work day on March 10.  Due to the sheer volume of mulch orders, there is a good chance that we will need to schedule a second work day!!  That means that we will need to play March by ear.  If we finish our work, we will have regular youth activities from March 11 till spring break.  But Mulch Madness support is growing fast!  So be ready to change plans a bit if necessary.  March 17 is our rain day and will also serve as a "second" work day if we need it.
