This is our CBC Little Free Library, we love it!

I'm rounding up another CBC Do Crew for a Little Free Library Building Bee. Little Free Libraries are a great way to encourage literacy and build great communities. It's a simple idea you can leave a book or take a book ...or both.

Our goal is to build 5 LFL's that can then be autioned off to support local community associations.

I need 10 volunteers who aren't afraid to get creative and a little dirty. Please wear your "best" painting clothes.

Thanks to Kathryn Audet, Store Manager for the Marlborough Home Depot for donating our lumber, plexiglass & paint. Any extra supplies you could bring along, paint trays, brushes, dropcloths, extra paint in bright colours, etc. would be much appreciated. (If you are bringing paint it needs to be exterior latex paint.anything else won't stand up.)

If you have a few hours to volunteer with me on Sunday email docrew@cbc.ca

Happy Spring everyone! I need ten volunteers to help me build a garden shed for the Calgary Horticultural Society.

The society uses their backyard as a demo community garden. Community members can take part in classes and workshop opportunities. The shed is much needed component, providing a safe place to store all of their tools & materials.

Shed Solutions has donated a 6' X 8' shed kit, now we need to put it together. We'll be in the backyard at the Calgary Horticultural Society, 208 - 50 Ave. S.W. it's the blue bungalow on the NW corner of 50th and Macleod Tr. South.

We'll be constructing the shed, painting and helping with clean up in the yard.
Who knows what the weather will be like, I'm forecasting a beautiful sunny day, but Mother Nature might have other plans. Please dress appropriately. Layers are always a good idea and boots are probably a smart choice.

Tools are being supplied all you need to bring is your gardening gloves, hat & sunglasses.

The delightful folks from the Horticultural Society will be providing refreshments.

If you have a few hours to give I'd love to see you there!
