Today is Paul Bunyan Days’ toughest day — cleanup day!
After days of hard work and fun, we could really use some extra hands. If you can spare even half an hour or an hour, it would make a huge difference.

We’ll be down at the tennis courts and baseball fields all day, picking up and putting things away.

Hope to see some of you there — thank you in advance for your help! 🙏
