On Saturday, July 20, 2024, a group of volunteers gathered at the Drake Log Cabin to finish the Mae Shirey Memorial Garden and to dedicate it with a memorial stone. The following pictures show the work on the garden, as well as the completed project and the work day itself. Thanks so much to Wendy Minik, our project chairman and to the other volunteers who worked beforehand and on July 20th. This project was funded with a $1,000 grant from Keep PA Beautiful National PA Day grant program in partnership with America250PA, EQT, and PennDOT.
These first few photos are before the work began.
These next few are showing the work in progress with some of our work crew!
