The TCUL Marketing Conference in Galveston was a great success! The CUGROW team was there to capture video of the Give Galveston a Hand project and we wanted to share the footage with you!
Check out the video below and give us a shout, we would love to hear from you!
As we get closer and prepare to Give Galveston a Hand, some have asked what exactly we will be doing. Volunteers will be planting 1 gallon grasses and flowers into the prairie to help re-vegetate with native plants. The work should be fairly easy, as we are digging in sand. We will form groups of 3 with one person digging, one person planting, and one person watering and switching out as needed. Below is a map of the location of where the work will be done.
The Texas Credit Union League has received a grant from the Texas Credit Union Foundation for the Marketing & Business Development Conference as a community sponsorship to assist in transportation requirements for “Give Galveston A Hand” as well as co-sponsorship of the “Thank You Reception & Vendor Fair” immediately following the GGAH volunteer initiative. A huge thank you goes out to the Texas Credit Union Foundation!
