Praying Hands Ranch Needs our HELP!
 
CALLING ALL GARDENERS!
Carl and Shirley at Praying Hands Ranches are in need of our help. The Sensory Gardens have gotten a bit neglected this summer and need to be weeded/cleaned out/raked. We will be meeting at the ranch Friday, August 24th at 9am and should be done by early afternoon depending on how many people come help. Even if you can spare just an hour or two, come join us! Thank-you to those who have already signed up. I will be sending out an email reminder with more details next week to all who sign up. If you are able to help, please email me at mduncan2275@gmail.com. The ranch is located at 11892 E. Hilltop Road, Parker.
