Attention Home Owners getting trees in March 2008

The money is due March 1, 2008! The trees cost $30 each. We would appreciate everyone covering the cost of their trees if possible. Any additional donations are also greatly appreciated. Money is due by the end of this month. Please arrange to drop off cash or check to Dina, Nykia, or Jacelyn.

We would appreciate any help you can give on planting day: Sunday, March 16, 2008 at 10 AM. Volunteers will be meeting at Dina's house (2771 Jasper Street, Phila., 19134) to divide into groups and distribute trees. Please be prepared to have a water source available at your house or on your block so we can get the trees watered after planting.

Also, please consider making your restroom available for volunteers working near your house, if needed? (We were instructed to have bathrooms available for volunteers.)

We are having lunch and libations at the Philadelphia Brewing Company (formerly Yards) after the planting.

The contractors have begun cutting sidewalks this week and they will continue to be cutting throughout the neighborhood until all of the tree pits are cut. You may have spray paint on your sidewalk - these marks are from the utility companies indicating where the utilities are under ground. The contractor will not cut into the sidewalk where the utilities are located - they will work around them.

Thanks!!!

Please email us if you have any questions at phillytreepeople@gmail.com.
