VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR 2021 SUMMER WATERING PROGRAM
Starting this year, Lake Odessa's Downtown Development Authority (DDA) is making some big changes to the downtown flower program. Approximately $8,000 has been invested by the DDA in large self-watering planters which will be placed throughout the downtown. These planters have a 27-gallon reservoir that will keep plants hydrated for two or three weeks at a stretch. The reservoirs will be filled by the Village's Department of Public Works crew as needed.
So this is where our downtown businesses come in. Now that the municipal planters will be maintained by the Public Works crew, volunteers will no longer deal with that portion of the watering route, so the time spent on the volunteers' watering shifts will be dramatically decreased! The only task left for volunteers will be to water the planters of participating businesses in the downtown. Each downtown business owner who has flower planter(s) at their business location is eligible to have their flowers watered throughout the season by volunteers, starting Memorial Day and ending late September, provided they also volunteer to water flowers for at least one three- or four-day shift. As the old saying goes, "Many hands make light work." Please consider being one of our helping hands this year. To be a part of the watering team, simply click HERE to sign up or contact Bill Rogers, our watering team coordinator, at (269) 838-2083 or by e-mail at hairport07@yahoo.com.
