Diane Kunze reports on the Spring into your park event on April 26th:
Our event on April 26, 2008, Spring Into Your Park, was a big
success! We had the largest number of volunteers of the 67 parks that
participated. 81 men, women, and children came and helped clean,
mulch, and plant our park. PHS (Pennsylvania Horticultural Society) came and took pictures of the work and informed us that our event was the most successful in the city that
day. We have two new flower beds along Orthodox Street, and we
refreshed all other beds in the park. We now have our own SMA,
(seasonal maintenance worker), cleaning the park. He goes by Mac, so if
you see him working around our park offer him your thanks for a job
well done. The work on the wall is wrapping up. It look great! We
are hoping to plan future events to use this wonderful park. We want
all the families to know the park belongs to them and to use it with
pride, and care. Thanks for all the support the neighborhood has
given our park. Go Overington Park!ps: The Frankford Garden Club plant sale on Sat. May 10th, was a big
success! We sold every plant that day. There was some concern over
the weather, but the people came out and bought all we had to offer.
Frankford will be a little greener this summer thanks to the garden
clubs efforts.
