Martin Luther King Day of Service

January 23, 2013

Thank you to the many volunteers that came out and helped in Shawnee Park. It was a very chilling day but the sun was shinning bright. Mulching, removing invasive plants, trash pick up and more…it was quite a day and we appreciate your commitment to our Olmsted Parks!

These great groups came out to help:
Target Sores
International Leadership Program
Fighting Chance of Louisville
University of Louisville
St. Martha’s Church
VA Tech Alumni Association
Americorps REACH
