EARTH DAY 2018 now resides in the realm of memory, gone but certainly not forgotten. Originally conceived as a fundraiser for children’s activities, the EARTH DAY CELEBRATION at Oak Tree has assumed a greater purpose. Still a successful fundraiser, gleaning over $2000 for this year’s summer camps, EARTH DAY also provides an opportunity for friends and neighbors to gather and enjoy each other’s company on the green and sunny Oak Tree Campus. Families painted birdhouses, courtesy of the San Juan Ridge Community Center. The North San Juan Fire Department provided free life vests for young swimmers. Kids of all ages were able to get up close and personal with our very special avian visitors, a turkey vulture, red tailed hawk, and pygmy owl. Local artisans sold their wares as celebrants munched on delicious organic treats, decorated a Peace Pole and swayed to the pulsating beat of American Indian drumming and song. Musicians, singers, and “international celebrity models” filled Oak Tree’s Lodge with music, laughter, and applause. The San Juan Ridge Family Resource Center is so grateful to everyone who contributed to making this the BEST EARTH DAY CELEBRATION EVER! Many thanks to one and all!
