Odds and ends

First, to all who participated in the Memorial Day parade, Thank you. The Town appreciates it greatly. I know not a lot of publicity was given to it in the media this year, something we are addressing with the Celebrations Committee.

Second, we have signed up for a service project. Yes, you can get hours for it, but there is more of a point to it than that. We will be placing a serpentine bike rack at Hastings School. This is a pretty easy project. Dig a couple of pretty deep postholes, dump in gravel, dump in sand, put the bike rack in place, then mix and pour concrete. The postholes have to be pretty deep–around 3′–so it will take a little effort.

I do need at least one person experienced with mixing concrete and pouring it. I have a posthole digger although having another would be helpful so we could dig two at a time.

Help from 119 would be greatly appreciated. This should be a joint project since it will attract attention.

I am thinking of doing it next weekend on either Saturday or Sunday afternoon. Let me know if you can give an hour or two to this project.
