Groveland needs picnic tables

This was passed on to me today, if you have an interest in making Groveland a little better place for those who live here and those who stop on their way to Yosemite, perhaps you can give a bit of a thumbs up as we compete for some funding for picnic tables and grass in our park.

http://www.myhometownhelper.com/ViewProject.aspx?tell=2&id=39714

This program is sponsored by Hamburger Helper. The town and volunteers would do all the installation if our project was selected for funding.

Thanks bunches!
