Mark Dvorak performed at Thomas Ford this Thursday June 20th. He provided a terrific show of music, movement and fun for patrons of all ages. Several of his songs touched on themes of using what we have, and Use it Up, Wear it Out!
Registration for our program started at the beginning of June, and response has been excellent. So far we are at 786 registrations and going strong. We usually break 1,000 every year, so after that point we begin to cheer.
Patrons have really been enjoying the theme. We've decorated with live plants, had an artist hand paint a mural, paint with washables on windows and overall we've tried to reduce our impact with simple decorations and such. The kids are very excited about getting to plant a plant, and the Garden Club donated soil and seeds!
I'm taking notes on how to reduce our impact next year. Our weakness seems to be in use of paper, packaging and snacks. Shipping is also of concern with a great deal of our items.
