December 2007 Tree Giveaway

Jim Yoder Goes The Extra Mile: Delivering a Tree to Stakeholder's Car

On Sunday, December 15, 2007 the GHSNC hosted a Million Trees LA Giveaway at the Granada Hills Recreation Center. About 100 stakeholders participated and were the recipients of 50 trees of three different varieties.

Many board members showed their support for the activity and assisted in serving at the table and even taking trees to stakeholders' cars. Special thanks to Sean Rivas, Bonnie Marie Bursk, Mark Barrionuevo, Julie Carson, Lottie Van Emden, Jim Yoder, Rob Norris, and Tessa Charnofsky of the Mayor's Office. Without their individual and combined assistance, this event would have not been the great success it was.

The free sandwiches, cookies, brownies, chips, bottled water and ice cream were drew large crowds and interest. In our little way, our community and neighborhood council have assisted in adding shade, oxygen and beauty to our area. Thanks to everyone who participated and adopted trees.
