Our first Island Gate beautification day was held today and to say things went perfectly would be an understatement. The weather was poised to be rainy but turned out to be warm and pleasant. We are especially grateful to our 8 neighbors who took time out of there weekend and worked so hard to plant over 100 plants all over the community. Some of the things we planted were 4 white birches, 21 azaleas, 12 andromedas, 12 inkberries, 10 holly plants, 6 day lilies, and 27 kinds of grasses. We improved the pool area, the center island at the entrance, the parking areas and over 30 homes in the community. We also spread grass seed, removed numerous dead trees, trimmed countless trees and bushes and made our community an even nicer place to be. Special thanks to Fran Gordon, Jack McEntee, Karl and Marianne Massey, Walter and Carol Long, Debbie Romano and Eileen Sappah. You all are terrific. The effort of these people is what make this community so special. Even Super Fresh helped out by allowing us to borrow a few shopping carts for the day. Thanks for pitching in Super Fresh.
Things went so well we are planning another beautification day in the spring (we promise not to work so hard next time). So stay tuned and once again thanks so much.
