Day of Service, Saturday October 2, 2010
In downtown Unity over 80 volunteers joined forces to complete service projects throughout the downtown. This Day of Service, hosted by Unity Barn Raisers and underwritten by the Unity Foundation, brought together area residents ranging in age from 4 to 70 years of age with a common goal: working together to build a better community! Projects included weatherizing the Unity Community Center, preparing Triplet Park for the winter, pruning downtown trees, cleaning up CommUnity Trails, shelling dry beans for the local food pantry, and working on community sailboats.
The event was followed by a community meal and celebration featuring live entertainment from local band, Dog Wants Out. A list of all the local businesses who supported this great event will be posted soon!
