~ Get outside and enjoy the spring weather this Saturday. Help the Cadiz Browntown Recreation Area get ready for summer with their spring work day. Bring a pair of sturdy gloves, shovels, rakes and a sack lunch to enjoy at the park with your fellow workers. It is a great way to spend some time outdoors while helping a noble cause. The work day will be from 9 am until 3 pm; come for all of it or just part, whatever works for you.

Infinity is on the west side of the Square in the lower level. Enter through the alley behind the building next to the municipal parking ramp.
