Volunteers Needed to Water Newly Planted Trees and Shrubs
Possibly Underrated But Definitely Needed
Sanitation workers, teachers, and nurses. These occupations are often listed as overlooked, undervalued, or underpaid – despite their high necessity and impact. Briefly stated, they are essential among us, yet too often ignored or unappreciated.
Here at Overlook Lakes we can add another group to the list: Those who volunteer to water newly planted trees and shrubs. We gratefully acknowledge the volunteers who showed up last week to plant 11 shrubs and 2 trees. We anticipate other new plantings between now and the end of summer that will require watering into November. We are looking for more volunteers to water these shrubs and trees and we’re asking you to seriously consider this.
It’s a relatively simple task, but also a serious commitment because it’s essential to the plants. Currently, Board and Building & Grounds Committee Members are at risk for burnout because watering often doesn’t happen unless they do it. Perhaps you could water 1 or 2 trees, or maybe a new shrub or 2. This will greatly benefit our community. Ideally, a “Watering Committee” might be formed to oversee this vital work among us.
Interested? Want more information? Willing to try? Email the B&G-Grounds Committee, the " target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-cke-saved-href="http://board@overlooklakescondos.com">OLCA Board or leave your name and contact information with Tonia in the Office. You are definitely needed and we will not underappreciate you.
