Many of us have participated in this annual community service activity over the past half dozen years. Its often a family affair and is organized so that our children can participate. This might be a perfect early fall service activity for our two Interact Clubs. Here are the details from BEACON President Wayne Allgaier. The City of Brunswick needs volunteers to help plant 50 tree saplings in 5 parkslocated throughout the City. The City will provide the saplings, dig the holes, and provide a bag of mulch per tree at the sites. Volunteers will provide shovels and rakes, and will place the trees in each holes, back-fill the dirt, and mulch around the base of each tree. A pocket knife is recommended, as the root balls are bound in a bag tied with twine. It is estimated that the project will need 20-25 volunteers. All ages are welcomed, including families with younger children. Adults or young adults may be needed to lift the tree sapling and to spread the mulch. The project is scheduled for Saturday, September 17th at 9:00am, and with 20-25 volunteers, should be completed by the early afternoon. Please spread the word to your congregations and civic organizations.
The next work days are September 10 and September 27.
Your help is needed!

It also highlights the importance of vaccination as the only form of protection against polio and other vaccine-preventable diseases and the work that needs to be done in our communities to encourage the uptake of vaccines. Also, as the world gets closer to zero wild poliovirus cases, it is increasingly important to track all forms of the virus wherever they may appear, including in polio-free regions.
