October Events

We have a change to our scheduled events for October.   The Native Plant Garden installation at Indian River Park is being rescheduled to Saturday, October 25th.   

Instead on Saturday, October 4th, at 9:30 am we will be doing Adopt-A-Spot Gardening at Indian River Bridge.   We will do some fall gardening and maintenance around the bridge and the newly planted trees including weeding, composting, mulching, and perhaps adding some new plants, etc.   Please wear closed-toe shoes, a hat and bring work gloves. If you can, bring any gardening tools such as like rakes and shovels that are helpful in planting. Participants under 18 years of age must have adult supervision.    We will probably meet at Oaklette United Methodist Church, 520 Oaklette Dr, although this meeting location may change - we'll let you know if it does change.

On Thursday, October 9th, 7 pm, join us at our monthly meeting for a discussion with Chesapeake City Councilmember Suzy Kelly.   We'll talk about local economic development and in particular about the Indian River Shopping Center.  There will be light refreshments and door prizes after the discussion.
