		Good Neighbor Saturday, June 27 Organized by COSROW this month Since it is summer, we could use some additional help. Call (651-482-1128) or if you are available to prepare some food or work that morning. We are planning simple recipes and menu that can be made in advance to serve that day.
		Peace Garden Project Our outdoor labyrinth was dedicated over six months ago and is being well used! The next phase is the installation of a Peace Garden with a Peace Pole. Like the labyrinth this is being coordinated as a Peace UMC Eagle Scout Project. Funding of the project will come from gifts, memorials, and donations of materials. Rock Garden of Lino Lakes will donate material for the retaining wall. Donation forms are available in the commons area. Come check out the retaining wall that was built Saturday June 20th! It is a very nice addition to the labyrinth. Saturday, June 27th, the work will continue on the labyrinth: planting, placement of the peace pole and brochure box, etc. If you can volunteer any of your time, it would be appreciated. Contact Helen Nelson, 612-581-6935 for questions.
