Downtown Businesses are paying it forward once again!

It's tree planting time at the Capital Area Greenbelt Association (CAGA) www.caga.org. The Greenbelt is approximately a 20-mile loop of greenways around the city of Harrisburg. lt is made up of volunteers dedicated to supporting, maintaining and improving the Capital Area Greenbelt, a Millenium Trail in south-central PA. One of those volunteers is Mr. Norm Lacasse; we call him the "green guru". For the past 4 years the business owners within the HDID territory have donated the 12 to 16 potted Douglas Fir, Norway Spruce or White Pine Christmas Trees that many of you have seen at various downtown businesses over the past several months. Norm heads this project up every year, he picks the location in the greenbelt, organizes and co-ordinates with various youth organizations who assist in and take "ownership" for planting the trees within the designated area. I have to say, this year THE YOUNG LADIES definitely out shined the young men! Way to go girls and THANKS to all of you for making a positive difference!
