Our Monday MVPs include Dan Meinhard and Jason PHelps!

Dan is doing great work landscaping a drain trench in our forest between the two bridges of our nature trail.

Jason is applying a solid coat of oil based stain at the Forestville Church. His professional touch from doing floors and decks is much appreciated. He's taking time to soak the wood planks properly with a sponge.

Many thanks!
