We’ll be prepping and painting the planter just north of the office on the mornings of August 21st and 28th, from 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM.
Water, snacks, sunblock and painting supplies will be provided. Bring gloves, a hat, and a small stool or pad for your knees as this planter is low to the ground and much of the work will be kneeling or seated. Go to Themonstercycle and learn more.
If you are interested in attending please RSVP to friends@friendsofriversidecemetery.com so we can be sure to have enough supplies. Any questions you may have may be directed to the above email.
