Thanks to countless hours of hard work by Gene Sanden, the site for the cistern is ready to go. Capitola Pump delivered the cistern, donated by Patty Quillin, and will return with a crane to set it in place. We extend our thanks to Capitola Pump for donating their services on this part of the garden project.
Equally impressive is the stump grinding effort put in by CLC members Pastor Dale Sollom-Brotherton, Austin Pruitt, and Gene Sanden. You can see from the photo that Pastor Dale was having a little too much fun with the stump grinder.

The garden project received its first grant for $500.00 from the Rotary Club of Santa Cruz, Sunrise. We have numerous expenses coming up, including a pump for the irrigation system, as well as the irrigation materials for getting the water to the garden plots. We are in need of cash donations, if you would like to help.
Be sure to MARK YOUR CALENDAR for the grand opening celebration: Earth Day: Thursday, April 22, 2010. Everyone is invited for food, music, meeting our Board Members, individual and business donors, and the people who will be using the garden!
