Buckman Neighborhood Association Picnic

The Buckman Neighborhood Association Picnic was a great success! And, it should be noted that this was the first planned public appearance for the Friends of Linus Pauling Community Garden. Volunteers spent the afternoon in two shifts (Mira and Sandy worked from 4:00PM to 6:00PM and Seth and Mallen worked from 6:00PM to 8:00PM) passing out literature, flyers, and postcards to help inform the public of our group's goals. In total, 81 people signed the postcard expressing their support for FLPCG (to be mailed to Mayor Sam Adams), and over a third of the signers wrote additional comments on the card. Additionally, 19 people signed the list expressing an interest in joining FLPCG's efforts.

Be sure to stop by Colonel Summers Park at SE Taylor and 20th for next week's FLPCG appearance, on August 15th from 10:00AM until 3:00PM, as part of the SE Sunday Parkways event.
