TREE PLANTING!
On Saturday, May 2, 2020, fifteen trees were planted at the York City Welcome Triangle across from the WellSpan York Hospital by the PRESERVE PLANET EARTH COMMITTEE, family and friends. The trees included a variety of species ranging from October Glory, White Oak, Service Berry, Red Maple, and Black Gum Trees. The planting teams dug the holes, removed rocks, bricks and concrete, and then mulched the individual tree planting locations and the welcome center stone area and water feature. Thanks to Rotarian Brian Mummert of W S Landscape Services who procured the trees and provided the mulch. A special thank you to the Garden Club of York for their shared financial support of this project.
HOST FAMILY NEEDED – David Gbogboade is in need of a home ASAP! David is a former Youth Exchange student from Nigeria who is entering his senior year studying Mechanical Engineering at York College. All of David’s summer classes are online so the host family does NOT need to be located near YCP. For more information, please contact Rotarian Walt Tilley 717-891-6375 or wat@stockandleader.com.
