PLANTERS: Our shop planters have been adopted and planted by GROW, Krazy Lawn Gal, Infinite Future and ReVision International. They all look so beautiful already. We are fortunate to have such great peeps give so much for our general benefit. They have designed, paid for or grew from seed and installed their planters. Most importantly, these peeps are generously adding to the collaborative atmosphere of Wash Perk. THANK YOU, Kristen, Esther, Craig and Eric. And we finally have our “wormies” set up for composting on patio, thanks to Julie North.

WASH PERK BOARD GAME: Kelly O’Laughlin made us a wonderful board game before she left for Italy. We played this past week and the game is at the shop for anyone to play. She made it so that the rules can be added to as well as the questions on the game cards. It’s very fun, and very Perky
