It’s been a busy week! One of our get-out-the-vote efforts was sabotaged by the theft of our banner at Spartanburg Memorial Auditorium. So far, the others are untouched.
Saturday, Joyce led a glass and litter pick up at Glendale Shoals. She says 5,011 pieces of glass were removed from Glendale Shoals today + an additional 279 pieces of litter. Kudos to Alice Sutton, Kaye Savage, Ruth Stanton, Liz Perry, Stacey Jackson, Kaleo Wheeler, and Joyce Harrison for pitching in to round it up and take it out. There’s more to tackle another day!
Our Sunday Quintuple Dip was productive and lots of fun. Thanks Susan Turregano, who led the food drive, said we had 26 donors and we collected 608 lbs. of food, plus another 20 lb. from someone who missed the drive by times and took it on to TOTAL Ministries. A great effort! We collected many pounds of winterwear for the Atheists helping the homeless, as well as half a dozen baskets of newspapers and enough
wildflowers to fill our triangle garden. And, thanks to Abby Fowler, several of us bought lots of beautiful LWV mural cards. Thank you also, to Collin, a UUCS friend who came by and did a couple hours of garden prep!
Monday and Tuesday, our planting group planted giant coneflowers, perennial sunflowers, and a dozen more wildflowers next to the children’s play yard. Calling all children— if you would like to plant sunflowers in your garden next spring, stop by UUCS and grab a flowerhead before the birds get them all! Jeanette planted and tended them, and would love to share!
