November's Clean-Up Day, November 26 Last month volunteers joined together to clean-up and plant new plants at the Adolph L. Dial Amphitheater, home of Strike at the Wind. Even though the volunteers accomplishments were nothing less than spectacular, there's still a lot to accomplish prior to the 2006 season. Bring your friends and join in on another successful event. To see some of the action from the last clean-up, view here. The next Clean-up date will be March 25, 2006

Volunteer Clean Up Day--October 15, 2005 The cleanup on October 15, 2005 will begin at 8:00 AM, after a community prayer. People are encouraged to come out all during the day to volunteer. There will be a sign-up sheet and volunteer hours will be recorded from that day. Lunch will be served at noon. The clean up day is expected to end at 3:00 PM. We are asking for people to bring rakes, shovels and other garden tools to use, and donations are also accepted.
Many thanks to everyone who participated in the Strike at
the Wind! Cleanup Day. We had over 25 volunteers come out,
and what a difference their support made. We were able to
plant at least 25 new trees/bushes and ground coverings. We
raked and swept and rake and swept some more. We cleaned
out the ticket booth and developed a "punch list" for future
work. It was truly a success.
Thanks to everyone who contributed to this, to the volunteers who were able to participate, to the folks that cooked and donated food, and to all that supported us in this endeavor.
