Ed, On my morning walks, I have noticed a lot of rubbish and graffiti in public spaces, but this morning I found two treasures. I was at Pioneer Park with my dogs…a beautiful spot to rest and reflect. There I met two people working hard on the gardens and grounds and thanked them for the mighty job they were doing. I really appreciate everyone who works so tirelessly to beautify our city. I discovered that Chris and Randall come in twice a week to work at the park in Grafton. They are volunteers and have been doing this for 6 years. Thank you, thank you to these wonderful volunteers and all those who volunteer in our community. Without the volunteer workforce, our nation would collapse. Janette Nethercott, Grafton
