Temple MSA would like to invite you to our community service event with Northeast Tree Tenders this weekend to help us plant trees in Northeast Philadelphia!
This planting will be on Saturday November 21st, 2009. We will be planting 50 street trees all over Northeast Philadelphia! The trees are Bare Root Trees, meaning they have no soil around their roots and only weigh 20-30lbs, making them very easy to plant. We will have all the tools and materials but we are looking for volunteers to help us plant! Please come out and help beautify the neighborhoods where we live, and have lots of fun in the process!
Meet at 9am at the Al Furqan Mosque at 7252 Roosevelt Boulevard in Northeast Philadelphia right next to the Dollar Tree Store at the intersection of Cottman Avenue and Roosevelt Boulevard (Directions at the end). We will be planting rain or shine! Wear clothes that can get dirty and sturdy shoes.
Address of Al Furqan Mosque: 7252 Roosevelt Boulevard, Philadelphia, PA 19149
Planting Day Schedule -
9am to 9:30 - Registration and Breakfast
9:45 to 12:00 - We will divide into planting groups that will be headed by experienced planters and head out to plant trees in different locations around the Northeast.
12:00 to 1pm - Everyone will come back to the mosque for lunch.
Please let us know if you plan to attend so we know how many volunteers we can expect. Also, please pass this on to anyone that might be interested in planting trees. This is one of the largest volunteer tree planting projects that Northeast Philadelphia has seen, and we will need as many volunteers as possible!
We look forward to seeing you on the 21st!
Thanks,
