Rivoli Park Labyrinth Service Day
We are looking forward to having a service day at the Rivoli Park Labyrinth on Saturday, March 29th from 10 am-1 pm with volunteers from Pro(ACT) Community Partnernships, Inc. and some members of The Indy Progressive Roatary Club. We plan to move dirt and mulch, paint a fence, and to do outreach beyond the boundaries of the labyrinth site by picking up trash in the neighborhood. We are going to do something special related to the community art aspect of the project as well. There will be a little bit of something for everyone. Send along a message online or call (317) 372-6983 if you would like to join us in the fun of serving together that day.
