We had almost 30 volunteers out today—painting, planting and creating hope along State Street. Move this week with more bulbs going in the ground, porches to be painted and more community created. Come out and join us!

Final Plans For State Street Fellowship Bulb and Beautification Project

Father Jeff — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 13:10:20 +0000

All right folks, we are set! Here are the plans for next week:

* Monday: 1-5pm
o 7-10 Campbells volunteers along with volunteers from a high school of Father Mike’s will be planting and painting porches. Some cleanup of alleys will also happen

* Tues-Thurs During the afternoon
o Youth from Holy Name will be working with Father Mike to beautify the 8 abandoned homes in the 4 block area

* Wednesday 20-30 9-1pm
o volunteers from Campbells will be here to finish painting and planting

The bulbs look great. We will be planting 6000 of them amongst the trees, flower planters and other areas in the 4 block area. The idea is to plant them densly so that Spring will be abloom!!!!!!!!

Paul Richards of Hopeworks is scheduling the preparations. Please email him (paul@hopeworks.org) if you have any questions or thoughts. This is going to be a great way for all of us to work together and also to work on a project that will bring beauty to our community. How great is that!!!!

6000 Red Tulips To Be Planted On State Street!

Father Jeff — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 15:21:08 +0000

6000 Red Tulips will be planted the last week in October between the 700-300 blocks of State Street. This project is being organized by the State Street Fellowship–a group of organizations and community members who have come with the express purpose of betting these four blocks and to learn how to better work together. In conjunction with groups of volunteers from Campbell Soup.

An informational gathering was held this past Saturday at the future home of the Hopeworks C.R.I.B. and over 50 people were present, expressing interest in the bulbs, having their front porches painted, adding weather stripping to their front doors and helping with some painting of the 8 abandoned homes on the block.

Keep watching! Can you imagine what these four blocks will look like in April when 6000 red bulbs shoot forth?!!!!

Here are some pictures from our Saturday gathering:
