Last summer, Red Robin Group adopted Stony Point Park at the corner of Woodland and Confederate Avenues here in Ormewood Park as an opportunity to give back to the neighborhood.Our last clean-up date on Sunday, July 25, included some much needed additions to the park in the form of colorful birdhouses and birdfeeders. Red Robin Group partnered with the folks at the East Atlanta Kids Club on a birdhouse- and birdfeeder-painting evening for the young people in the summer program there. Now when you drive by the park, maybe you'll see a few more of our fine-feathered friends enjoying their newly renovated (and some newly constructed) homes.
Red Robin Group tears into the park at least once a quarter for a good, thorough clean-up. Right now, we're looking for a few more resources and volunteers who can help us keep it looking a little more spiffy year 'round -- especially in the spring and summer months. So if you find you've got a few extra plants, mulch or other gardening items left over after a weekend spending craze at the garden store -- or perhaps a dependant or two with a few extra hours on their hands on any given Saturday -- we'd love all the help we could get.
For more information about our next big cleanup, or to volunteer, contact Chelsea at 404-254-5206 x8.
