Strawberry Creek Lodge work party

Hello Everyone:

We’ll be holding two work parties at Strawberry Creek Lodge (1320 Addison Street in Berkeley) on:

1. Saturday, December 23rd, 10:00am-2:00pm
and
2. Saturday, December 30th, 10:00am-2:00pm

We’ll be doing a little clean up after the rains, weeding, and planting (Manzanita in the front and Ferns in the back). Please join us if you can in the beautiful back garden of the Lodge to check on the fish and to say hello to old friends.

Let us know if you can make it so that we can get the snacks right. For any newcomers, please park on the street and not in the Lodge parking lot as it’s reserved for the residents. ‘Hope to see you `this Saturday! Thanks.
