A Crimson King for the VFW

Gardening is good for what ails you.  Dirt under the fingernails.  A sore back.  It's all good.

Today a few of us gathered for some laughs, a good time, and planted a tree at the local VFW/American Legion Post while at it!  

Glacier Gardens donated this exceptional 8' Crimson King Maple tree so we could honor our veterans.  

Lion Donna Hurley spearheaded this project along with Lion Tom Dawson who's a member of the Post.

This is a Centennial Legacy Project, Level 1!  #Lions100

Plant a Tree Project

The Mendenhall Flying Lions recently participated in International President Tam's Plant a Million Trees program by planting six green ash trees at the Juneau Skate Park.  Ed Buyarski of Ed's Edible Plants donated the trees and Terry Hinkley of the City and Borough helped locate a site for us to plant the trees.

It was a rainy day.... but coffee and donuts lured seven Lions and two young children out to help plant the trees.  We had a good time and good fellowship and all the trees were planted in about an hour's time. This was but a small piece of the 9.7 million trees that have already been planted!
