Earth Day Events are full speed ahead!
We are expecting BEAUTIFUL weather and a great turnout!
When we are all done nearly 500 FOMCW volunteers will plant nearly 1000 plants,
spread several thousand feet of gardens, spread nearly 35 cubic yards of mulch and
clean 600 feet of Marsh Creek!
If you are signed up for the Disney Give A Day Get A Day Program and can't remember
where you are signed up to work go to the Disneyparks.com site, sign in with your
email and password and you will see what opportunity you signed up for. There are
links in each opportunity that you can copy and paste into your browser to get a google
map of the location (we weren't able to create hyperlinks in the opportunities).
If you still aren't sure please email info@fomcw.org and we will email you back your
info. Please do this before Friday or you may not get a reply until after the event.
If you aren't signed up for the Disney program but still want to participate that's great
too! Email info@fomcw.org and we will send you information where you are needed!
Remember to wear appropriate clothing, wear sunscreen, bring water and bring a
snack if you need to.
Thanks for your interest and HAPPY EARTH DAY!!!

March 9th Update:
Disney has announced that the "Give A Day Get A Day" program has now inspired a
million people to go out and do community service. As a result the program is now
closed. Friends of Marsh Creek Watershed was able to create 895 opportunities
through the Disney program.
As a result , JUST SINCE January, we have planted 700 plants, spread 60 yards of
mulch, removed thousands of feet of weeds, picked up 3 tons of garbage and installed 6
artificial burrowing owl burrows!
We have impressed by the enthusiasm and joy that these volunteers brought to our
projects and are grateful to the Disney company and Hands On Network for allowing
Friends of Marsh Creek Watershed to participate!
We still have one last project with Disney volunteers coming up on Earth Day. If you
are already signed up and registered with the Disney site you will get your voucher
after participating. We are no longer able to create and MORE opportunities or add
additional household members to opportunities.
If a volunteer cancels or does not appear for the opportunity they signed up for, that
volunteer will no longer be eligible for a voucher for a theme park ticket nor will they be
able to search and sign-up for an alternative opportunity to qualify for a voucher.
