On
Sunday, April 12, the Beth El Social Action Committee and the
MoB
are combining their efforts in support of the SEEDS
program in Durham
Several
Beth El members have participated individually in SEEDS over
the years.
This
exciting Social Action/MoB activity will provide a wonderful
opportunity
for Beth El members to work in the gardens at SEEDs
& learn more about this wonderful program.
We
will also be helping with & dedicating a pond area in memory
of Bekah Resnick,
who was both an active Beth El member as well as garden manager at SEEDs,
bringing individuals to the SEEDs experience
and merging her love of the earth with her love of Beth El.
Volunteers,
adults and teenagers (maximum of 35),
will help in the gardens for about 2 to 3 hours,
starting at 9:30AM
Please
RSVP no later than April 6th:

anticipate that this will be an annual event. SEEDs welcomes
volunteers throughout the year.

SEEDS teaches respect for life, for the and for each other through gardening
and growing food. Located in the heart of Downtown Durham, we are an urban

organic gardening, food security and environmental steward ship.
Over the many years in the Alston area of Durham it has encouraged young to

of food. This tremendously successful program has provided educational and
community support in after-school, weekend and summer activities.
