TAKEN - LAST MINUTE TRIP TO DOMINICAN REPUBLIC-1 seat available

Special thanks to Angela Arnsby for taking up the last minute ticket to the DR. Angela is a very active community member and when I mentioned to her about the opportunity to spend a week at the Nuestros Pequeños Hermanos orphanage well she just couldn't say no. Amongst her many activities Angela is a board member of an animal welfare group in London,ON and she also traveled to New Orleans in the days after Katrina hit to volunteer her time. Thank you Angela and Welcome!

One of the members from another group(not Nutri-Lawn) is unable to make the trip to the Dominican next week, therefore there is 1 spot available. If you would like to join us here is the deal; you would leave with our group from Toronto this Saturday 24 and return on the 31st. The ticket is being offered at $1500.00 and you would receive a 2009 tax receipt. A Great deal! And you might even get famous on this site!

If you are interested we need to know by no later than 3pm Thursday (21st). This is offered on a first come first serve basis.

Please call me, Kalon @ 416-577-3316.

Our 2009 Dominican Republic Goal

To provide a safe, sustainable playing field for the kids to enjoy for many years. We will do this by:

1. Installing an Inground Sprinkler System
2. Rebuilding the soil structure of the playing surface
3. Planting grass seed
4. Fertilizing
5. Irrigating the existing garden areas to yield better vegetables for use on the dinner tables in the orphanage
6. Teaching the site staff to maintain the field for years to come

welcome to re:nourish

Inside every company there is the heart and soul of the people who make its brand so valuable. At Nutri-Lawn we say “We Nourish Lawns and Lives.” That is why we have created our most meaningful idea. We call it re:nourish.

re:nourish is our program to nurture the communities around us – both near and far – by giving back to them their greenery. Every part of our organization, the employees of our corporate office and our franchisees, are committing themselves through various projects to making the environment more lush and more nourished.

The way we organize our efforts we call From The Ground Up

• 1. We find projects with which we can engage
• 2. If we can bring our experience and expertise, as well as our passion, for healthy grass and exquisite irrigation to the project
• 3. If we can mobilize our whole franchise system to contribute to a project that helps the community, such as a Food Bank
• 4. We contribute individually and as a group
