E&B Helps Progress House

By on August 22, 2016

On Saturday, August 20, Environment and Beautification committee members braved rain to plant and mulch five large, 15 ft. tall trees at Progress House, a short-term residence for those men afflicted with drug and alcohol addictions.  We would like to recognize and thank Rotarian, Chris Gonzalez and his company, Mainscape for providing a flatbed truck, forklift, auger, two staff members and mulch to complete the project.  The Environment and Beautification committee members included Anne Gioe and spouse, Jim Kienle, Mike Shanley, Marie Koenig and spouse and brother, and Chris Gonzalez for helping with this project.  Several Progress House residents and Joe Gaafar prepared and loaded the trees at a different location.

Next spring, Progress House hopefully will be the recipient of a few more trees, shrubs, and benches through a Keep Indianapolis Beautiful grant to help beautify this multi-use recreational and reflective area.
