Thank you to Meghan Sweeney and Lisa Roberts for their work on coordinating the Hale & Field Plant Sale this year. We appreciate our volunteers who helped sort and organize the plants and everyone else who supported this fundraiser with a purchase. 

Some of you stayed all morning on Saturday to work on the spring cleanup around the building. Check out the Peace Garden along 54th Street to see the remarkable transformation! Thank you to all of our workers and to David Peterson and Taylor Showalter on the Hale Landscape Team.

Still for sale ...

We still have yard signs, water bottle stickers, and a few sizes of T-shirts (youth M and adult XS, L, XL, XXL) featuring the new Hale & Field shared logo. If you'd like something, email haleptacochair@gmail.com to make arrangements.
