Vivianne,
Winnie Harris has called to say that the Fairmount Park guys hope
to START tree delivery at the central point of Malcolm X Park
tomorrow at 10:30. Timing depends on how quickly loading goes at
the holding yard in Fairmount Park. There is no way to tell when
they will be dropping the 3 trees at Lea but a good guess would be
late morning or early afternoon. Shall we say that tree planting
will start at 2:00 and ask the kids to stay later than 3:10 as
required to finish up? Just say a prayer that the trees are not
too big. We'll be OK.
I will load all the tools tonight. Joe Shapiro will be bringing the
water hookup and some more shovels (right Joe!). John will come
when he can (right, John, just bring your bike!). You mentioned
Jack coming. How is his sense of humour if we knock him into a
hole by accident?
Johannah

well, school closes at 3:10... but if we could get the kids
started, and with theirbook bags, perhaps they could stay on
instead of going home right away... I will or am, ccing to Mike on
this.
hopefully, vivianne
I can also ask to have it announced to classes and older children
could opt to stay after school if it is OK with Mike..

Vivianne,
What are the hours of the school day? Could we plan to plant at
2:00 or 2:30? We have to get all the other trees in place.
Johannah
John has a student from Holland whose last day is Friday. He is
hoping to come to help after taking the lab out to lunch but we
shouldn't count on him too much for timing.

well, i think you told me originally that the trees would be
delivered in the morning, ca 10 ish... or half past?!!!!
and asked, I thought... whether we could do it in school time...
so I figured it was morning!
.
\ Please let me know when you think we would plant, as I will have
to let the school know if it is after school is out it will be
very different. At present, it was to involve the service club
kids...
thanks, Vivianne

Vivianne,
We are all confused, now. How did the planting get set for
10:00? I doubt the trees will have been delivered by then plus
all the UC Green team are involved with delivering the much
larger number of trees to be planted on Saturday. If there is
some vital reason for planting in the morning, none of us will be
there; you would be on your own.

Hi have not been able to get any men to say they can come; the
two who were sort of interested before, both have to work
on Friday... Joe says he has to be somewhere else that morning...
Jack *my husband* would but he's pretty near sighted and feels
insecure usually doing plantings but maybe if we need him he
will........... he is very strong.../
Meantime, Mike says the 7 and 8 grades
will help, Ms. Massey, science teacher for upper grades in the
school is the teacher to contact. She can be difficult in the
past but will do my best to find out...
and the Community Gardeners are working on Sat. so hard to get
anyone on Fri also..
but will try a few others... Do you know for sure about the
timeing??Thanks, Johannah...
cheers, Vivianne
PS hope the one for the playground is pretty big...?

Sounds like we will be getting 3 trees on Friday so one can go
in the school yard.
