Leadership Jefferson County Class Requests Your Support
The The Leadership Jefferson County Class of 2016-2017 requests your financial support of a community/school garden at Foster Elementary School in Arvada. Leadership Jefferson County is a 35-year-old program overseen by The West Chamber Foundation -- a 501( c ) 3. This year's Leadership class took on this garden project for several reasons: The school has had a garden in the past and it has fallen into disrepair: it was difficult to maintain over the summer months due to a lack of an irrigation drip system and the absence of a fence around the garden perimeter; and the present garden structure is also not ADA compliant. To learn more about plans for improving the garden or to make a tax deductible donation, please contact Janice Holmes, Fundraising Chair, at [email protected] or 720-399-5651. Receipts with tax information will be provided to all donors. Thank you for your support!
