We need your help Sunday June 2 A group of us plan to clean up the Temple parking lot and re-stripe the parking spaces. We would prefer to have the whole lot professionally resurfaced but right now it is cost-prohibitive. So in the alternative, some home-grown remedial work is planned for this coming weekend. So if you have a broom and aren't afraid to use it, please bring it to the Temple on Sunday starting at 9am. After clearing away the sand and gravel we will re-paint the parking stalls. Blowers and shop vacs may also be an option. Please bring what you can but most of all come down and give us a hand! Thank you!
