Projects CommitteeHULL CREEKThe bridge: May 21 will see the planters on the bridge on site and by May 27 they should be all planted out!A HUGE thanks to Joy and John A for getting things to this stage.Planting: We will continue with clearing. This will be done bit by bit with the aim of planting late June. Watchfor the calls for Labour.Publicity and membership drive: This responsibility has been given to Maud and Peter and whoever else theybring on board. There’s no right or wrong here with timing or content. One thing I am convinced of is that ifwe go too early and people don’t see follow up we lose momentum.RONALD MACDONALD HOUSE GARDENSMulch bagging. We need to bag mulch for RMH. I’m aiming for 11/12 May. 5 people one hour! We will mostprobably combine this with a Hull Creek day.MULCH FOR SALE - A FUNDRAISER?We have a pile of mulch with the possibility it will be constantly replenished so we can use it as a fundraiser.The pile is opposite Foodstuffs.
