Great article Nicole  :)  Oscar and his son are so deserving of this project, and this is where the goodness of others really surfaces.

Oscar's house is right behind the Kid's GArdne Sustainable Springfield will be building on E 4th - would he and his son like access to a plot at the garden, Nicole?

Neighbors helping neighbors will do more for community building than flashy projects attempted by the city.

This is so awesome. Great story; admirable mission. Sorry if I overlooked the info, if it is already here: but how can folks get in touch with SOS, to join in? Whether this project, or a future one? Thanks! :)

Non-red, the crown is for exterior window trim.  There is nothing there right now, but there used to be.  Simplier the better as exterior crown is rather plain as compared to interior. 

THANKS!

We will have Preservation SOS Make it Happen T-shirts available for sale: $10 each.  It is likely we can set up a time/place prior to the event day to purchase a shirt to wear on the day.
