Hawley Area Neighborhood Association Rain Barrel Project

The Hawley Area Neighborhood Association (HAA) is sponsoring a rain barrel project. We have several members in HAA who took a neighborhood training course offered through NeighborWorks and chose the rainbarrel project as their course project. The HAA board is supporing their project and hope to be the first neighborhood association in Lincoln that is the expert in getting rain barrels in many yards to use for watering flowers and gardens.

50 rain barrels will be assembled and given away in the Malone area by HAA thru this rain barrel project. There will be a talk on urban gardening by the CROPS group. When people leave, they will be able to take 1 rain barrel home free (a $100 value). HAA members will help people install the barrels in the afternoon. Watch for the date of the event.
