Event will be on the rain date of Sunday, November 6, 2022, 1 p.m.
Please join members of the Eastmorland Community Association (ECA) as we rake yards for our neighbors who are unable to rake for themselves. This has been successful for 17 years–let’s keep the tradition going!
Please plan to meet at the Olbrich Park/Walter Street Picnic Shelter at 9:00 am on Saturday, November 5 (rain date: 1:00 pm on Sunday, November 6); we’ll assign routes and disperse in small groups from there. Please bring a water bottle, your own rake, gloves and a plastic tarp if you have one. The picnic shelter is at 502 Walter Street near the red/green playground. Those who take routes nearby can walk or bike to them, but some people may prefer to drive for routes that are farther away within the ECA boundaries.
After raking, volunteers, their families and members of households whose yards were raked are invited to a pizza party hosted by the ECA. Please bring your own beverages, as well as any food or dessert items you wish to share. To be held at the same park shelter, the picnic will begin at approximately 11:30 am on Saturday (or 3:30 pm on the rain date). Bathrooms and water sources at the shelter will be closed.
If you have questions about volunteering or need to place your address (or a neighbor’s home) on the list to be raked, please call or text Kris Whitman at 608-228-6654. Thank you!
P.S., Daylight Saving Time ends at 2:00 am on Sunday, November 6, so remember to set your clocks back at bedtime Saturday.
