Save the Date: Ramona Helping Hands Plans Day of Service

Ramona is a great place to live—on Saturday, April 27, 2013, you are invited to come and help make it even better!

The Helping Hands Day of Service will begin at 9 a.m. at the Fund For Animals Wildlife Center and at Mataguay Scout ranch. Participants will trim shrubs, spread mulch, paint picnic tables, prepare camp sites, do tile work, mend fencing, and perform needed automotive, plumbing, and electrical tasks to keep our valuable wildlife and open space facilities in top shape.

“Last year, some 200 friends and neighbors brought their helping hands to clean up around Ramona,” says Kelly Burt, event organizer. “This year we’re hoping to have an even better response, especially among Scouts, as there is lots to do at Mataguay to get it ready for the Boy Scouts.”

Community organizations, faith communities, Scout troops, school groups, or families and individuals—all are welcome to come and pitch in!

For those who wish to contribute but require less physical activity, groups will be making sandwich lunches for needy individuals in Rancho Bernardo.

For more information on the projects and to sign up, please visit www.sdhelpinghands.org.

The Helping Hands Community Day of Service is sponsored by the Boy Scouts of America and the Ramona congregations of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Helping Hands is part of a larger effort across California and in other states, to bring neighbors together to serve and improve our communities.
