[Green] Tree planters needed, meeting reminder, and call for agenda items

[Annie Warmke]

Roger's tree planting event is for Make a Difference Day with Marietta 
College students participating.  October 28th is the actual day he needs 
help, although he probably should have some help because he needs to 
hall some huge pots of trees from Belpre.  If anyone can assist him 
please get in touch with Roger Kalter 525-1833...he will really 
appreciate the help.  Annie

He has enlisted help from Marietta College students and others, but it’s going to be a big job that he hopes to finish by October 28. He needs helpers—including hole diggers, wheelbarrow pushers, shovelers, overseers, coordinators, and on-site advisors.  (So, heavy lifting and dirty hands are not necessarily required of all volunteers, but some.) If you can help in any way during the next few weeks, please let Roger know. Best way to reach him is via phone or text to: (740) 525-1833. Trees, especially those planted young and left to grow for many decades, do a great job of carbon sequestration. This is a something tangible we can do to address climate change. Please, help if you can! Kudos to Roger for instigating this important project!
