Konichiwa B-297!
I just wanted to give everyone a quick update about our work at the Family Learning Center in case you missed it! The FLC is an organization located in a heavily Hispanic area of N. Boulder dedicated to helping all ages learn. We have an ongoing relationship with the FLC and are always looking for people to help tutor and volunteer at the FLC. The Family Learning Center wanted a large swing-set removed from their playground to leave more room for playing soccer and other sports. After a contractor quoted the job at $3000, they called on Boulder297 to see if we could help out. A Boulder297 team lead by Andrew was able to dig up and tear down the swing-set last Saturday. We broke up and hauled off the concrete foundations to a local concrete plant to be recycled on Thursday, and are hoping to complete the job soon by taking the large metal beams from the swing-set to Eco-Cycle to be recycled. If you have access to a large truck and want to help haul these beams over to the recycling-center, contact Andrew or Myself, and we'll let you know if we haven't gotten them hauled off yet.
Thanks to everybody who helped out with this project, and for everybody involved with Boulder297 for loving the city well. As always, you can see what we have going on, and what our needs are on the website at www.boulder297.org
Peace.
Mike
(p.s. if anybody has some pictures from the work on Saturday, send them to me and I'll throw them up on the website)
