10th Annual Community Service Day

What and why
Tenth annual event in 2009, Saturday, May 2nd
Each year, more than 500 volunteers complete 35-40 projects in Dublin
The purpose is to bring volunteers together for a day of service to the community, providing spring clean up projects to help senior citizens, area schools, churches and non-profit organizations.

Types of projects have included:
Clean-up and yard work for area senior citizens in need
Landscaping, trimming, planting, outdoor painting at schools alongside PTO teams (landscaping is not included in school maintenance budgets)
Grounds keeping (clean-up, landscaping) for churches and non-profits

Who can be involved
Persons of all ages, including individuals, groups, families, corporate groups and organizations such as Scout troops or neighborhood associations can volunteer
A great way to get company or group recognition for an internal newsletter or web site; provides teamwork experiences and photo opportunities for teams.

What to bring
