| Other great volunteers who gave their time and talents: |
| Almost 20 members of the Aktion Club and Lansing's Charter House teamed up to varnish the play structure at Rayner Park in September of last year. This project, undertaken annually by the Aktion Club, is the first joint community service outing that has involved the Charter House. Both groups are part of Community Mental Health. |
| Eagle Scout, Dwight Bernabei, has created a tree nursery in an isolated area at Lake Lansing Park - North. The amount of work involved with the project was impressive, as he cleared the parcel of land, created a suitable planting area, and planted more than 100 saplings by hand. Dwight has committed to caring for the tree nursery for a year, after which parks staff will tend the growing trees. This nursery gives us a ready source of trees for our parks, both to replace dead trees and to add new plantings. Thanks, Dwight, for helping us to keep our parks looking great for years to come! |
| Eagle Scout, Derek Spangler, designed and built a covered picnic table on the trails and Lake Lansing Park - North, providing a great place for hikers to take a breather! Thank you, Derek, for adding a nice touch to our park. |
| The folks from the Volunteer Center of Mid-Michigan participated in the Lake Lansing Park - South Maintenance Day, spreading woodchips and doing landscaping plantings: Melissa Eastman, Vanisha Patel, Seema Patel, Gaurav & Tushar Bhatnagar, Arand & Mukund Aruh, Rama Agrawal, Bhakti Joshi, Courtney Rice, Karen Paulsell, and Tierra & Katie Hanson. |
| Scouts in the Girl Scout Silver Project painted grills, posts and trail markers and trimmed around the volleyball courts and trails at Lake Lansing Park - North. |
| Brownie Troop 89 from Holt, and Boy Scout Troop 711 from Onondaga helped to seal the playground at Burchfield Park. |
| Eta Kappa Nu members helped to paint the Tryke track at Lake Lansing Park - South. Volunteers included Brian Evangelista, Jason Slade, Payam Abrishami, Lonnie Halash, Sarah Barrie and Nick Rosko. |
