From Kristin Gnojewski at Parks and Rec: We are so excited for the spring weather, singing birds, spring blooms, and most of all to be able to finally reengage with wonderful volunteers like you. Please find the April 2021 edition of the Adopt the Greenbelt newsletter attached. We would like to invite you to participate in the City Nature Challenge (CNC). The CNC is an international effort to document biodiversity using the free iNaturalist app. The event takes place between April 30th and May 3rd, during which time participants take and upload photos of wild organisms to iNaturalist. This is a great way to document and learn about the wild plants and animals that utilize your adopted Greenbelt section. MAY 3RD IS OUR MONTHLY GREENBELT CLEANUP - PERFECT TIME TO PARTICIPATE! Finally, as the snow disappears from the foothills, water levels in the river can rise rapidly. Please be aware of the potential for high water and flooding as you work along the Greenbelt. Construction will also impact a few Greenbelt sections this spring and summer. Thank you for all you do to keep the Greenbelt safe, clean, and healthy for all. Please reach out if you have any questions. Cheers, Kristin |
Ramadan is the holy month of the Islamic calendar. It’s a month-long period of fasting, followed by a feast day celebration that’s also a day of giving gifts and doing acts of kindness. For you Christians, you might think of like Lent, followed by Christmas Day! 😊 To acknowledge our local refugee community, many of whom are Muslim, our club will once again support the Ramadan Grocery Project this year. You can help in two ways:
Shiloh has sent you a book of tickets. The stubs have to be back to her by May 10th. This is an annual tradition of our District 5400; its the major fundraiser for the District; some of the money comes back to the clubs. It is the expectation that every Rotarian will sell ten tickets, either to friends and family members or to themselves!
