"Maggie the Magnolia" which was planted in Natural

Park in honor of Lynda Carter, GCL President 2002.

The one that had been planted on the Greenway

had been damaged so Bob Byrnes from Trail Ridge

Nursery donated a new one.  Everyone there threw

in a shovel full of soil and so our Arbor Day Tree

was lovingly planted with many hands.

Nice Plants for sale back there in the shade too!

The Fair Tax Org. was there.  Fairly Taxed....What

an idea!!!

Lynda and Jackie plant a Magnolia in the Natural Park with the help of everyone who attended.  Shovel was passed from one hand to the other, all ages wanted to participate. 

 "And that's a good thing!"
