These random spurts of nice weather have had all of us in good spirits and our productivity has been great. In the last several weeks we have built a new farmstand on Robinwood that will sell fresh produce with a "pay what you can, take what you need" spirit. With the help of a great group of couchsurfers we began construction on a new chicken pen so that we can expand our chicken operation. Our bike mechanics have been attending classes so they can increase their skill set and experience with fixing bikes. We have also been meeting frequently to discuss the implementation and expansion of these projects as we move toward spring.
Events coming up:
- Wednesday, February 24 7pm
- Meet and greet potluck at the U.I.O building
People within the community will have the opportunity to present their projects and plans for the year and get to know their neighbors better
- Saturday, February 27 12pm
- Clean up at DA Park
Clean up DA Park at Charleston and Robinwood. This will include trash pick up and landscaping, as well as planning for the future of DA Park.
Many events, work days, and meetings are in the works. We will post updates as we can, and are looking forward to what will be a great year in the Fireweed community!
