GARDEN WEEDING
Last Saturday, MARY OSAMA organized a weeding project at our Butterfly Garden.  
Thanks to all who participated and to Mary for getting it going.
 
 
Hi everyone
I wanted to share the post weeding photo
Sorry that no one was able to join me
The weather was good so I was able to get some weeds out 
The garden could use some mulch and fertilizer 
We also need to plant some more foundation flowering perennials in the fall 
Getting the  rain barrel is a critical as watering is a challenge .I can check with blue tree and other garden centers for the rain barrel and compare prices 
Will report back to all
Thanks
Mary

SHELTERBOX
 
This Rotary year, District 7430 plans to be the first Rotary district where every club participates in the effort to provide shelter to families displaced by conflict and natural disaster. We challenge every club to meet or exceed their prior support for ShelterBox, Rotary's partner in global disaster relief. When we succeed, our district will be acknowledged on the ShelterBox USA website, at the 2021 Rotary International Convention in Houston, and at the International Assembly.
You can participate by bringing your donation to the District 7430 Stock the Box event on September 10th at The Steel Club. Tickets ($65) include dinner and dueling pianos entertainment and are on sale at EventBrite (7430stockthebox.eventbrite.com).
 
Donations can also be sent directly to ShelterBox:
101 INNOVATION PLACE,
SANTA BARBARA, CA 93108
