of the work party split up into groups and did various tasks in and around the
branch including sweeping the parking lot, checking plants in the front
gardens, planting new plants around the Legion property and general cleanup. Repainting of various outside parts of the Branch where the paint had suffered over the winter at the front and side entrances to the Branch.
The outside wall of the Branch building was painted where air conditioning units were removed last year.
