Clintonville GreenSpot Committee Meeting – Tuesday 8/9 @ 7pm

You are invited to an outdoor evening meeting at Fire Station 19 Tuesday Aug 9th, 7-8pm.

Tuesday Aug 9th (8/9/2022), 7-8pm
Fire Station 19, on the Front Steps
3601 N High St, Columbus, OH 43214

Please add this to your calendar right this moment if you’d like to come!

We will be touring the new pollinator gardens, announcing the creation of a new volunteer group “Friends of Station 19 Garden Club”, and putting out a call for leaders of the new volunteer club.

This is a call to volunteers and emerging neighborhood leaders to take on and expand the work that has been done at Fire Station 19 since the summer of 2021.  Clintonville GreenSpot will continue to support this project administratively and with muscle power!  Do you have a vision for expanding on the work done so far, and a desire to help our first responders by taking grounds maintenance off of their worry list?  Are you interested in taking charge of an innovative neighborhood project and supporting the station at the same time?

We will also hear from guest speakers toward the end of the meeting:

  • Franklin County Soil and Water Conservation District
  • Clintonville Area Commission

We hope that you’ll join us for a fun and informative evening on Tues Aug 9th, 7-8pm.

Ryan Foshee
Co-Chair Clintonville GreenSpot
