Dear Neighbors,
You may notice small white flags in the right-of-way along the edge of your
property; during my walk through the neighborhood today I saw them along
Rumson and Marlborough Road, among the streets hit hardest by the April
tornado. They were put there by the city's NeighborWoods tree-planting
program to mark the spots eligible for *FREE TREES*!
Here's a link to more information about NeighborWoods:

It's a great city program, and it's great of them to help us get our trees
back after so many were killed and maimed in the storm. Please spread the
word. And please consider helping out your elderly or disabled neighbors who
might not be able to handle the planting and maintenance themselves. My
husband and I planted a tree that the program provided to one of our elderly
neighbors, and now we have the joy of watching it grow into something
beautiful.
Thank you,
Sue Sturgis
