Volunteers Needed to water Newman's new plants!

From Dick Otto, parishioner:
I am in need of volunteers to help water the new plants on the south side of the parking lot. I have the hoses out there and the valve control (needed to turn on/off the water is located in the water outlet in the courtyard area) is readily available. Basically it is turn on the water and start watering the plant on the west end and move up the hill from there. I have simply watered until I see water coming out of the mulch and water then running down the parking lot. NOT a complicated process. Monday evening was my first night of watering and it took a little over an hour to water all 30 plants. Last night with everything in place, I got the task done in about 40 minutes. Any volunteers you can find would be most appreciated. Please have them e-mail me and I will meet them for their first shift ([email protected]). Thanks so much.
