Mural Award

TEAM MAC ( Mary, Ashley, Chris) has been chosen to implement one of our mural designs in downtown Chandler.  Chris Venema, Ashley Walden and myself submitted six designs.  One of Ashley's was among the designs chosen.  We will be laying out the 5' x 26' design beside a crosswalk on Arizona Ave. on March 25th during the BBQ and Beer Fest.  We'll be recruiting volunteers to help fill in the design, so if you're in the area and want to help, please let one of us know.  It should be a fun way to participate in the activities!

Gilbert Leadership Class XXII Work Day

Here are a few more of the terrific members of the

Gilbert Leadership Class XXII working on the mural.  There

were 8 members assigned to paint at a time and they pretty

well stayed with it all day. 

Here's what was going on behind the blue tarp!  Eight existing planter

boxes were equipped with an automatic watering system and then filled

with garden soil.  The members planted hundreds of vegetables and

flower plants and then brought in additional rock for the surrounding

area.  It was a day well spent and I'm sure there are some aching muscles

today!  Tomorrow my real work begins on the mural.  I'll report back

in two weeks when (hopefully) I'm finished.

Gilbert Leadership Class XXII Work Day

Seven a.m. Saturday morning, I'm set up and ready to go.  The leadership class

 had a perfect day to work on the mural and to fill the planters with

vegetables and flowers.

 

Here are a few of the Gilbert Leadership Class XXII working on the

Mural.  A tarp separated the painting area from the garden area

to prevent dust and garden soil from landing on our painting surface.
