8 am to noontime

Come get your hands in the soil with the GOW crew and get the garden looking ship-shape for the first planting of the season. We need helping prepping garden beds, moving wood chips, pruning berried & dahlias, weeding, shed cleaning and more! Light refreshments provided. Bring your kids, bring your gloves, bring your favorite tools. We hope to see you there…there will be a bit of something for everyone. If you think you might come, please send an e-mail to vanessajherald@ yahoo.com so we can get a sense of the crowd and how much we hope to get done.

Who:

When:
This Saturday, February 14th (Yes, it’s Valentine’s Day but who doesn’t ‘heart’ Oregon ?!)
Time:
8:30 am – 11:00 am (Senator Merkley is scheduled to arrive between 9:15 – 9:30 am)
Tickets:

Tickets may be purchased at the door. If you plan to pay at the door, we’d love if you could send a quick RSVP to Neel Pender at neelp@newvillages. com so that we can better estimate how many flapjacks we’ll need to get on the griddle!

T-Shirt Pick-Up
For anyone who pre-ordered T-shirts, they will be available for pick up on Saturday. No additional pre-orders are being taken at this time. However, there may be a few additional t-shirts available for purchase at the event.

Senator Jeff Merkley
Senator Merkley is joining us for the Abernethy Flapjack Feed on his first official trip back to Oregon . This is a fun, non-political event, but it is a great opportunity to showcase our treasured school to one of Oregon ‘s top elected leaders, especially in these challenging economic times. We hope you can join us by 9:30 a.m. to help ensure a warm Abernethy welcome!
