Summary
Island gardeners organized spring cleanup and plantings around the Rural Health Center, with Lighthouse School students credited for much of the April 17 cleanup. The May notice sought flowers, soil, fertilizer, cash, and volunteer labor for the Health Center and encouraged similar work around the Library and Historical Society properties.
