1 - Free Firewood Available on Crescent Road at Red Arrow
 
Fitchburg is constructing another wet pond below Crescent Road, and the trees have been cut and placed at the curb.  Anyone may take this wood.  It is in approximately 8-foot lengths.


2 - Red Arrow Pond Project Begins (Attachments: “Red Arrow Pond map. jpg” & “Red Arrow pond ltr.jpg”)
 
We just got approval to start the clearing and grubbing for the Red Arrow Pond Project and the contractor (Field & Stream Restorations, LLC. - FSR) is planning to start work this Friday, Feb. 24th.  Attached is a letter we're distributing today and tomorrow to adjacent residents to bring them up to speed on the project.  Please feel free to forward this to anyone you think may be interested in this project.
 
Also, we just received official grant paperwork from the DNR noting that we've been awarded a $60,000 grant for this project.

5 - Anyone Interested in Holding Neighborhood Garage Sales?

Every year at least one or two people call to ask if and when Dunn’s Marsh Neighborhood garage sales might be scheduled.  The DMN Council urges all those who are interested in holding a garage sale sometime in June to contact us now so that a date can be picked.
 
Besides a date, we need one or more people to agree to serve as the garage sales coordinator(s). We do have an offer of ready-made sturdy signs.  They’ll only need a little remodeling to make them useable for the sale.
 
For now, let Mary Mullen know if you would want to participate in a sale and what coordinating job you might be willing to take on.   Tasks would be to serve as the coordinator, collect information on sale locations and what’s for  sale at each location, put an ad on craigslist, get the signs prepared and to people who can put them up, and  collect signs after the sale.

Already prepared signs that require a minimum of work are available to anyone who participates in neighborhood-wide sales.
