Spring 2012 Stone Restoration message!
THANK YOU TO ALL THE 35 VOLUNTEERS!! Tremendous Job by everyone, especially all the return volunteers who have done this more than once and are a big reason why this weekend's effort was such a HUGE SUCCESS!!! My thanks also to Scott Wolf for leading 3 of the 6 teams and helping to spread mulch at the sites on Sunday.
Thanks to everyone for all the help, no way this happens without each and everyone of you!!! If you were a first timer, we hope you will consider helping out with future restoration projects. It was great to meet you all and work together as a team. We had volunteers from ASCE, DCALS, AECOM, and many local citizens come out to participate for this most worthy preservation effort.
My thanks to Rebecca Sheir of NPR WAMU FM88.5 for coming out for and featuring our efforts on the program "Metro Connection". Here is a link to their webpage and podcast of the radio program.

Hope you all will consider helping out with
future projects (next one will be in October 2012). We now have
20 fences restored and 10 to go! We will also be working with
the necessary parties on installing new fences at the stones
where there are damaged fences or no fences at all. DAR is
already in process of major restoration at NE#3. And don't
forget the work that needs to be done at SE#4 getting that stone
back in the ground or the work at the SE #8 site getting another
replica stone installed.
Thanks,
Stephen
