CANA members were joined by new volunteers from the Safer Foundation <\/a>thanks to\u00a0coordination by CANA member and former Aldermanic candidate Roman Morrow. The five volunteers helped us complete the month long planting process for 14 corners in our 16 block area.\u00a0 The Safer guys were great; they were hard working and genuinely happy to help us. They were all goal oriented and several were excited about seeing their families and children soon.\u00a0 We look forward to working with the Safer Foundation in the future.<\/p>\n

We are greatful to all who contributed to this effort to beautify our neighborhood.\u00a0Neighbors from Mason, Mayfied and Menard\u00a0 came out and volunteered in so many ways.\u00a0 A special shout out to men with tillers and trucks, you know who you are .. Rick, Marvin, Doug, Smitty, Robert.<\/p>\n

We have already seen results from the plantings. Neighbors stopped to ask how they could help and wanted to know what else was planned. We even had a neighbor, Sharon, who \u00a0in addition to her work on\u00a0several corners, \u00a0brought several students from her church’s “Rent a Kid Program” … now there’s a great concept! Sharon also volunteered to plant another corner this coming weekend near her home!\u00a0 Yes we CANA!<\/p>\n

Please enjoy the photos from the wrap up and see the finished product!<\/p>\n
