Pathfinders Beautify Londonderry

On Saturday, May 15th, 2010, the Southern New Hampshire Indian Pathfinders carried on an annual tradition of giving back to the community that continually gives to them. Close to 20 members of the Indian Pathfinders volunteered for Beautify Londonderry. Each member had their own reason for why they volunteered their efforts. For some members, it was to give back to the Londonderry community, for others it was a way of spending time with friends. No matter the reason, the Pathfinders came out strong and accomplished their goals.

Joel Sadler of the Shoshone tribe was the organizer of this event for the Pathfinders. Joel knew from the start to complete the assigned tasks (mulching and planting at town Common) that he would have to rely on the support from all of his fellow members.

On that beautiful Saturday morning, the members met at Londonderry Common to receive their clean-up assignments. The 20 members broke up into teams to works on their assigned tasks simultaneously. Each team had similar tasks, which were to mulch selected areas, provide a general clean-up and in some areas, plant flowers. Members worked diligently to complete their task quickly and all teams completed their assignment within a few hours. At the end, both fathers and daughters were able to look at the jobs they completed with pride and a great sense of accomplishment.

The Pathfinder Nation would like to thank Joel Sadler for organizing this yearly event. His hard work in planning made this event a large success for the Pathfinders, taught the girls valuable lessons and everyone had fun doing it. Nice job Joel.
