Thank You to All Volunteers! |

MCA would like to thank all volunteers who helped out at the "4th of July" and "Music in the Mountains Festival". Without your help we could not put on these events. However, at the present time it is a very few putting in lots of hours. In the future, so everyone can enjoy the event, we would like to limit each volunteer to a two hour work period. This can only be done if more volunteers sign up to donate their time. Sign-up volunteer forms for upcoming events can be found at the MCA Visitor and Volunteer Center in town. Help MCA to continue bringing quality events to Green Valley Lake.

GVL Workshops & Community Garden |
|
|
|
Wayne J. R. Bowser, Sustainability Consultant / Designer, who is working with MCA as a consultant and LEED Coordinator on the Fox Center Project has volunteered to start conducting various workshops relating to what & how to compost, benefits of recycling, and organic gardening.
The planned workshops would include how to erect and establish a "permanent" composting area and lead to the establishment of the Green Valley Lake Community Garden this spring.
Mr. Bowser has set up The Green Irene Fundraiser, which will run for three and a half months beginning January 21st to the end of April. Funds from this fundraiser will help purchase tools and supplies needed for the garden project.
You can visit Mr. Bowser on both his website and radio program The Green Revolution Show, local radio KTIE 1050am, which broadcasts over the Internet and as a podcast 24/7. |
