Hands On New Orleans Day of Service

All 5 of us volunteer leaders have been coordinating a day of service for tomorrow, March 8th! It will be the first annual Hands On New Orleans Day of Service at Tureaud Memorial Park in the 7th Ward. Alexander P. Tureaud had a huge influence in the civil rights movement, especially here in New Orleans. He was a lawyer who was involved in many civil rights cases during the Jim Crow era.

Tomorrow, we will be:

• Planting trees, bushes, and flowers
• Building picnic tables and trash can holders
• Re-painting existing benches
• Polishing the statue and plaques
• Performing a neighborhood clean-up

We're expecting to have give-or-take 100 volunteers, which is really exciting!
