Please come join the April subcommittee working on the “Save the Planet” project! The project involves, making additions to an existing an urban nature park for the children of Operation Breakthrough. We will be meeting in Conference Room SR 3525 (Raptor) on the 3rd floor of the Burns & McDonnell State Line Building Wednesday January 21st from 12:00 – 1:00 PM. Bring your lunch, ideas, and excitement for this great project with Operation Breakthrough! Please email snorton@burnsmcd.com if you plan on attending.
We will begin with a thorough background of the project and site which will lead us into a discussion of the vision that Operation Breakthrough has given us on the project. We will describe the various components of the project that we will be focusing on and initial plans for those areas.
The second half of the meeting, we will be discussing various ways to obtain donations for the main components of the project:
· Securing the site (fencing)
· Beautifying the site (plants)
· Controlling Storm Water on the Site (rain garden)
· Using Recycled Materials on the Site (tire planters, seating, etc.)
This meeting will really focus on using our contacts and resources to find donated and recycled materials. Please come with a list of contacts, resources, and ideas of getting materials donated for the main components mentioned above.
This project has the opportunity to be very creative and touch the lives of tens to hundreds of children who participate with Operation Breakthrough. This project will to be very exciting, challenging, and fun so we hope to see many of you on the 21st!!!
