Melville Park Needs Some Help
The Melville Park Committee is in need of some volunteers to make some improvements. Can you save a couple hours on June 13?

Doesn’t this sound like a perfect Saturday?
You get an early start at around 8 a.m. You get some posts set in concrete, put together that walkway, get some railings put in and even get some painting and cleaning done.
And the entire time, you’re in the company of good people with whom you share some hot dogs, burgers, a snack and a cold drink.
