I will have two spaces open this fall. I wanted to ask you to please pass this on to anyone in your circle of friends or neighbors, who might be interested in a full day program. I will be happy to email them information about my program and meet with them, if they think we might be a good match, after reading my material.

I appreciate you passing this on. Bj Richards/Bj;s Kids

Bj's Kids philosophy statement:

The Park District of Oak Park has a Green Team of volunteers that work in different parks throughout the year. The “Work Day” for Stevenson Park is scheduled for Saturday, July 24th from 9:00 – 11:00 am. Volunteers are needed to help with hand weed pulling, removing invasive plants, mulching and a general maintenance of the flower beds.

Volunteers should bring the following: work gloves, favorite gardening tool, reusable water bottle and a hat/sunscreen. Please reply to Mark Gartland at markgart@att.net if you think you can help out.
