Last Saturday, February 5th, Texas Spirits wnet out to Pease Park to do a little community service. It was a perfectly warm and sunny day after Friday’s snow day. With almost every prospective spirit in toe, the park was filled with girls ready to help out the community. About half of the girls ventured down to the creek to pick up trash. One girl said that they found an entire closet consisting of, “a sweatshirt, a pair of pants, and a t-shirt”. Together, the actives and prospectives collected a few bags full of trash.
Just across the park, the other half of the attendees were rolling up their sleeves and doing some dirty work. Another Austin organization (The Austin Parks Foundation) was doing a community service project. In an effort to make the park even more beautiful, they were lining the trees with sod with the intention of planting bluebonnets and other wildflowers. Some girls were digging away with shovels while others were raking out the sod to make it even. With Spirits' help, the Austin Parks Foundation accomplished even more then they had planned that day and Pease Park looks better than ever!
