Dear Members and Friends of the greater Bay Point Community,
If you haven't had a chance to see the Ambrose Community
Garden recently, there have been major advancements. The garden has a
new fence thanks to Supervisor Federal Glover and the Keller Canyon
Mitigation Fund Committee. A Picnic Table is being constructing from
donations by the Ambrose -Pittsburg Lions Club. Construction of an
arbor over the picnic table has been started with a donation from a
local fireman & gardener Jeff Landis, but funding to complete the
arbor is still needed. Download: Update PDF
Mural Art Program
We have a Mural
program where local artists can display their artwork. One artist has
already had her art work posted on the fence. Four more murals are on
display from art done by Bay Point youth at the recent Unity in
Community festival. There are also several murals that recognize the
numerous contributions of materials, money and labor to creating the
Ambrose Community Garden. See attachment for details on creating your
own mural. We have room for nearly 120 45" x 22' framed murals. Download: Mural PDF
Commemorative Laser Engraved Brick
One way that
everyone from the Bay Point community can participate in helping the
Ambrose Community Garden is to consider purchasing a Commemorative Laser
Engraved Brick. It is necessary to sell at least 50 commemorative
bricks to receive the substantial price break in purchasing the
bricks. This initial
purchase will help provide the funding to build a 5' wide brick
pathway all the way into the garden and pave the patio under the picnic
table arbor. We hope to obtain enough orders by this September, so that
we will have enough time to construct the brick garden pathway before
the rainy season. Please consider purchasing a commemorative brick
ASAP. Bricks are now $50 with 3 lines of text.
After our initial
order, we may not be able to sell future commemorative bricks for less
than $75-100 unless we can secure at least another 50 orders. So if
this interests you please join in on the initial order for a 33% -
50% price break and guarantee the construction of the brick pathway.
See the order form attachment. Donations should be tax deductible! Download: Brick PDF
Gardeners & Sponsors Wanted
Of course we still
need gardeners and sponsors to fund the operation and other improvements
to the garden. We would like to have a surplus fresh food program
eventually, but we need more volunteers & sponsors to make that a
reality. All gardeners and sponsors will be recognized at the garden.
Please feel free to contact me concerning anything associated with the Ambrose Community Garden.
In Peace & Justice,
Michael E. Kerr
