This year we've got some great activities planned including a rain barrel making workshop in March (just in time for April showers!). Join your neighbors and build friendships and a rain barrel. Neighbor Rebecca Frye will be guiding us through the process which she completed last spring. Along with your enthusiasm please bring the following materials (we'll have the tools):
* 55 gallon food grade barrel (can be found usually on Craigslist on internet sites that sell barrels - $20 plus shipping from http://www.arizonabarrels.com/)
* 3/4 inch water faucet with washer and ring
* 1.25 inch PVC pipe for overflow
* Gutter cap, hose clamp and window screening for the intake
* Flexible gutter connector to connect the gutter to the rain barrel
The materials (barrel plus the above) should be about $30 tops. The Ace in VA Highlands has all the materials and have been very helpful for Rebecca. For more information and pics of the process check out Rebecca's website greenvilleamerica.com/rainbarrels.htm
