[RP TownTalk] tree planting opportunity

Fri Jul 27 19:07:04 UTC 2007

Folks,

  I apoligize that I have been completely silent on this up until now.

  If you are inetersted in volunteering with us to plant trees on October 13, please get in touch with me.  You can either e-mail me, or call me at 202.441.3813 (cell).  Our application is due Wednesday, August 1, so I will need your names prior to that date.

  This will be a great opportunity to go out and make our town that much more appealing to ourselves and our visitors!

  Todd,   

  I have a few volunteers, but we do still need a leader.  Thanks for volunteering!!  Dwight Holmes may also still be interested, but he may be out of town.  I cc'd him on this email just in case.

  So far, I have the following volunteers for you

  Sue Lewis
  Marc Stauffer
  Kristen and Jared Liu
  Dannielle and Steve Glaros

  Kristen can also fill you, but the key is working with Ron Goff over at Public Works to coordinate location.  (I don't have his email ready, but you can call him at town hall) He is really interested in assisting with the event.  PW was instrumental last year in helping us prepare the area for planting and in bringing in heavy equipment to dig.  They also have shovels and other tools that we could borrow.  From my brief conversation with him, he'd like to do a planting on 410.  I think this will work for volunteers, if we can also have PW block one lane of traffic on either side of the work area to give us a safe space.

  I guess the key is coordinate with PW and figure out the location.  Decide on plants.  There are a few people on towntalk who could help with landscape advice, if needed.  Fill out the form and go to the training.  (PW may want to order extra pants for other town plantings) PW will pick up the plants and supplies, if asked.   Kristen Liu may have a few other suggestions from her work last year.

  If you need some help with figure out the plants, I'll be glad to help.  I don't mind pitching in, I just am tied up on a lot of weekends with the county councilman, so I'm not as reliable in leading events as before.

  Thanks!!!!

  P.S. I live at 4800 Sheridan, so feel free to stop by sometime.  My number is 301-779-5915.  Work is so busy that I don't always have a chance to check home email, so phone is sometime your best bet.

    Dannielle,

  If you are still looking for one, I can be the leader of this thing.

  Hi!   

  Here's a great opportunity to improve the look of our town.  On October 13, 2007, Prince George's County sponsors Gorgeous Prince George's Day.  Communities have the opportunity to receive free plants and other supplies to plant trees and flowers in their neighborhoods.  See details at http://www.goprincegeorgescounty.com/Government/AgencyIndex/LCI/pdf/GPG%20Day%20Application%202007.pdf .  Last year, Kristen Liu helped coordinate RP's local event.  I'm hoping that someone out there would be interested in coordinating volunteers this year and coordinating our work with the PW Director.  We also need to figure out a location for our tree planting/beautifying efforts.

  Please email your suggestions for location (needs to be public property).  Ron Goff (PW Director) suggested maybe something on 410?

  Please email me if you are interested in helping to organize the event.  Both Kristen and I are very busy in the fall, so we need someone else to take the lead.  It is not a lot of work, but it is important to have a leader to coordinate location and volunteers and participate in training.

  Have a great weekend!!!
