Second phase p lan n ed for W est H ills beautification
The West Hills Beautification
was a one o f a kind community
g a th e rin g th a t w as d eep ly
needed. A nd best o f all, it was
very much appreciated.
T here have been so many in
quiries about the work we com
pleted in the area, and it cer
tainly could n o t have been done
w ithout you.
T h e re is a n o th e r exciting
event coming up, Beautification
II.
T he first West Hills Beautifi
cation project results are still
ap p a re n t today, as the well-
groom ed sidewalks continue to
provide youth and pedestrians
with safer sidewalk conditions.
We would like to do the same
for another subdivision on the
W arm Springs Indian Reserva
tion. Only this time the project
has collaborated w ith a state
wide effort in May.
T he project in May will be in
conjunction w ith the “Taking
Care O f O regon Days,” part o f
the O regon 150 activities.
O ne way you can pay tribute
to this place you call hom e is by
being a part o f the project. O r
egonians from every corner o f
the state are invited to roll up
their sleeves during O regon’s
b irth d ay co m m em o ratio n to
give back to their state.
Taking Care o f O regon Days
will be a coordinated effort o f
hundreds o f projects statewide.
We w ould like to have the
community’s input on where the
project takes place here in Warm
Springs.
Comm unity input will help
increase the volunteer turnout,
giving the community another
opportunity to participate in a
project we can call o ur own.
T h e objective: C lean and
weed all public areas in a W arm
Springs subdivision.
Vision: Tribal communities
coming together to make a dif
ference their environment.
We are planning to hold this
safe, useful and fun project on
S aturday, M ay 30. We
have'created another m ark to
raise $984 from our caring and
hum ble com m unity m em bers
and associates.
We realize th a t funding is
tough these days, so we are also
a c c e p tin g
g ifts,
p riz e s,
lan d scap in g eq u ip m en t, and
trash bags from appreciated do
nators and lenders.
O nce we receive enough in
put from the community, we will
attach pictures o f the target ar
eas throughout the reservation.
We are really hoping to include
the playgrounds too, b u t it de
p en d s solely o n th e am o u n t
o f comm itted volunteers we get
in the planning stages and dur
ing the project.
O n M ayl5, we will p ost no
tices on front doors throughout
the target beautification area,
explaining the project and how
the residents are able to help.
I f you are unable to partici-
pate in th e project, there are
other small ways you can con
tribute:
Helping to get the w ord out
by talking with people about the
project;
D onating food and beverage
item s, garbage bags, w eeding
tools, solution a n d /o r gloves;
A nd even your highly appre
ciated blessing is more than gen
erous.
We thank you all for tuning
in to th e W arm S p rin g s
Beautification Project, as this
may definitely be another one
for the books.
P lease b e o p en to talking
with colleagues and neighbors
about the level o f im pact in oth
ers’ lives and the community we
plan to make.
