[CV Block Leaders] Free mulch for treewells

[Bob Brinkman]

Dear Block Leaders,
We have plenty of leftover mulch for treewells from Wednesday's project with
Hopkins students. Help yourselves. It's located at the vacant lot on the
corner of Whitridge and Greenmount. Whitridge runs east/west and is between
27th & 28th St.

On Wednesday, over 6o freshman students mulched 100+ trees, cleaned 2 vacant
lots, several alleys and streets, and spruced up the community garden at
Barclay and 26th St. Throughout the day over 700 Hopkins students preformed
service throughout the area. Many thanks to Hopkins folks, Greater Homewood,
Parks and People, CVCBD staff and area residents who assisted in leading
teams.

Please encourage your block to get involved in some weekend projects. Let us
know if you need supplies.

Thanks,
