Compost Day —> POSTPONED !
Due to the continuing rain, we think it is best to cancel and re-schedule the compost day.
A giant drop-off of dirt would quickly turn to mud. This is not ideal.
It would be quite a muddy mess for the Triangular Park (and for community residents) which we and I think everyone would like to avoid.
