NATIONAL NEWS
Cities of Service
(New York, NY)- A national effort is now ready to expand their network of cities, and then, as that network grows, help mobilize volunteer service in your communities. If you work regularly with the Mayor's office and would you like to see your mayor actively involved in expanding service in your community, consider inviting them to become a City of Service.

 

   
 


LOCAL STORY
Deaverview gets start on urban forest
(Asheville, NC)- Joanne McPhail supervised three excited youngsters with shovels, teaching them Thursday how to plant a tree in what could become a thriving urban forest at the Deaverview Apartments. McPhail, an associate at The Home Depot in West Asheville, showed Nick Jones, 10, Irun Whiteside Francisco, 8, and Alex White, 9, how deep to dig, how to mix the soil with rich mulch and how to set the oak sapling into the hole.
