Eagle workday opportunity

Hello all!

I am going to be having another workday on Saturday if y’all would like to come help. We will be digging holes and placing more benches. If you have anny posthole diggers, those would be great to bring! Also, gloves and safety glasses would be great to bring. All workers have been asked by the beneficiary to park behind the dining hall. If you have any questions, or are planning on coming, please let me know at

Thank you!
