The 5k went really well. We had 150-200 participants do the 5k. There were many more that did not participate in the 5K but came and made donations for the food drive. We ended up having four large boxes full of food, around 200 pounds. At the event we had anyone who was interested, write what they were most thankful for in chalk on the sidewalk. Participants loved this idea and were eager to add to the sidewalk chalk. You may not have seen Monday after all the rain, but it was pretty neat.
Project Coordinators
Stansbury Cemetery
Glenn reported that “… we received as donations, 1 pallet of sod from Merrill Blake at Erda Sod, 1 pallet of Mulch from Home Depot, and a truckload of top soil from Rick Palmer at Adobe Rock as well as a morning’s worth of labor from 29 residents.” Sod was cut away around the trees, weed barrier was laid down and bark put in. 5 graves that had sunk were “raised” with soil and sod.
Entrance to Stansbury Park
Mary had 6 volunteers at the entrance. Weeds pulled, landscape manicured, waterfalls cleaned out, etc.

For most of the time, it was just Scott and one volunteer. They were joined for the last little bit by a family of 6. They pulled weeds, put down a weed barrier, and spread gravel.

Last Wednesday, the Parkview Ward’s Elders Quorum chose Solomon Park as their focus for their Fathers & Sons service project. Here are the photos showing the park before and after their efforts. We deeply appreciate their dedication and hard work in supporting our community.
