Save the Date for Coffee, Tea and Trees
What do you get when you cross our regular Sunday morning CommuniTea gathering with a tree planting work party? CommuniTREE.
The VH Events and VH Tree Committees invite you to join us on Sunday December 8th, 9-11, at the Village Community Center and north Big Green. Grab a cup of coffee or tea and plant a tree. Or just come out to chat and enjoy the festivities. Bring the whole family. Delicious baked goods. Cocoa for the kids. Good work to be done planting trees on the north side of the Big Green. Even if you just have a few moments to come out to enjoy and/or help, join us. The fun and “work” will last the morning, but the shade and beauty will last for future generations to enjoy.
Mark your calendars and hope to see you then!
Adults who can help dig, are encouraged to join Tree Committee members on the Big Green, 10-12 am on Friday, December 6, to finish digging the holes.
