Cherry tree reminder

[from Carol Herwig]

The cherry tree planting is this Sunday, April 1 at the Petworth Public Library. We begin at 10am. Planters should arrive a little early.

But you don’t have to plant to enjoy the event. We will have activities for children. The Japan Embassy and cultural association has donated several kite-making kits plus coloring packets for kids. The National Cherry Blossom Festival people are bringing origami kits and instructions. We will have Japanese music. We will have a book signing with Ann McClellan. Her book is "The Cherry Blossom Festival Sakura Celebration,” and a copy of it is being donated to the Petworth Library on Sunday.

We hope to see you there! Any questions, please contact Carol Herwig at 202-722-4385 or by email.

Wow, Carol. Once again you've done a great job organizing! Should be a spectacular event regardless of the expected rain.

Drew and I will be there after the Cherry Blossom 10-miler!
