Has anybody felt a slight evening
chill in the air lately? Yep, while the days are still nice this time of ye
ar, the weather will be turning soon enough and there will be people visiti
ng the pantry who will be needing firewood.
There have been so
me wonderfully generous "wood elves" at work this summer delivering logs to
the site, so there is a decent supply of wood to start off the season. ("T
hank you!" all you wood elves!)
So, we'll start things rolling again with a cutting and splitting session
on Saturday, September 6th, from 8am until noon. Come for any amount of ti
me you can lend a hand, whether that's an hour or the morning. Bring your g
ear (gloves, ear plugs, safety glasses, boots or sturdy shoes, sunscreen, w
ater, chainsaw, wheelbarrow, rake, etc.) and gather together with some wond
erfully dedicated people helping others in our community. I will be out of
town that day, but there will be others there who are familiar with the rou
tine.
As always, we would be interested in hearing about:
-- Sources of wood identified as candidates for collection and/or
delivery (we can supply donation forms for tax purposes to those who would
like them)
-- People willing to fetch and deliver wood to the Woodpil
e site
-- People willing to communicate, coordinate and connect the a
bove sources and fetchers
-- Ways to make the woodpile more effective
-- Ways reach out to encourage more people to be helpers at the wood
pile
If you're willing to be a helper on any of the above, ple
ase let me know.
Please feel free to contact me with any quest
ions or any sources of firewood you might know about.
Thanks,<
