[Rotary] Subject: Community Center Fence Project Schedule

[Black, Margaret]

Hi all,

Thanks for the detailed update and schedule. It all looks well thought out.

For a temporary solution to help protect the kids while the posts are
setting, one option might be to use temporary construction or snow fencing
secured with stakes or sandbags along the outer edge of the work area. It’s
lightweight, easy to move as work progresses, and provides a visible
barrier for both children and passersby.

If we’re worried about kids getting too close to the posts before the
concrete fully cures, we could also add simple caution tape around those
specific spots for extra visibility.

Just a couple of ideas to get the conversation going. I am happy to help.
On your schedule it looks like you really need a group to help on Nov. 5th,
Nov 8th, and Nov 15th. I am available any day except the 15th. Please let
me know. We also may be able to get some kids from Interact to come out and
help.

Best,
Margaret
