Free Backyard Composting Seminars - 2012

From Khaalid Muttaqi, City of Sacramento, Neighborhood Services:

Backyard composting is a process where you recycle your yard clippings and fruit and vegetable scraps into a valuable soil amendment right in your own yard. It is a great way to save money, reduce the amount of waste that is disposed, and improve the quality of your soil.

February 16th general meeting featured several speakers; schools, Chorley Park, and flood preparedness discussed.

HW Harkness Elementary Principal Eric Chapman began the meeting with news about the school's Day of Service (January 14, 2012) in honor of the Martin Luther King holiday.  Serving as project managers students implemented plans they developed in the preceding weeks, put adult volunteers to work, and completed various efforts including landscaping, painting (murals and building), clean-up, etc.  Principal Chapman proudly unveiled the newly cleaned stage during the meeting. The stage can now be put to greater use by the school community. See the complete article in our February 2012 Newsletter.

Principal Susan Higgins of the John Morse Therapeutic Center shared news about upcoming school renovations.   These renovations are made possible by the passage of school bonds.  In addition, to changes in the administrative and multipurpose room areas, gardens will be planted.  Principal Higgins would like to host community gatherings, like our Neighborhood Association meetings once the school's multipurpose use room is renovated.
