Unplanned Workday scheduled for Saturday, March 16th starting at 8:30 a.m.

We have an unplanned workday planned for this Saturday, March 16th. Because of some unexpected progress on the retaining wall project during the week a group is planning on being at the site on Saturday to finish the installation of the wall. We will need help with bringing dirt and gravel over to the new wall in order to bring the ground up and fix some areas that show signs of washing out. If you have a wheelbarrow and shovel, please bring them so we can have multiple ways to get dirt from the pile to the retaining wall.
