April's second 'Call to Action': Help us build a playground for Lemoore in one day

Our second Call to Action opportunity this month offers Volunteers for Change-Fresno members the opportunity to help build a playground in Lemoore, start to finish, in a single day.

Sponsored by Hands On Central California, Kaboom!, California Volunteers, the City of Lemoore and other organizations, this effort is designed to honor the life and values of Cesar Chavez by having our groups join forces to build a new, state-of-the-art playground for children living there.

The event is scheduled 8 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday, April 25, at the build site in Lemoore. Volunteers will receive on-site training, an event T-shirt, and morning and afternoon meals. Be advised the time and date for this opportunity are nearly identical to those of the Generation Green Earth Day event, so interested volunteers will need to choose which of the events they want to join.

V4CF member Tim Savage has volunteered to act as our 'Call to Action' coordinator on this activity. To participate, contact him via e-mail as soon as possible. Tim will provide our list of participating volunteers to the event's director, and will assist those participants in arranging carpooling to the event early that day.
