Obama Works - York Event




On Sunday, September 21, 2008 community service-oriented group Obama Works supported local community gardening efforts with a work day. A group of about 10 volunteers assisted in weeding, and other common garden tasks. 



The man whose vision is behind the community garden was not able to be there physically, but his generousity and thoughtfulness pervaded the area. 
As neighborhood residents visited the garden picking fresh tomatoes and green peppers, Obama Works volunteers encouraged any and all to be sure and register to vote. Voter registration ends for Pennsylvanians on October 6, 2008.
