No registration required. Wear clothes you can get dirty and please bring gardening gloves if you have them (the Dollar Store sells them!).  If you have gardening tools, feel free to bring those along, but make sure to put your name on them.  We should have tools to share.

5. Reader Comment of the Day: "The DUI laws need an overhaul, until then the DUI's will continue to climb. Guilty of one - no drivers license for a year. Guilty of more then one? Drivers license revoked forever and jail time. Its a lucrative business for lawyers and that's why their wouldn't be any change. If a judges or pols family member is maimed...then we we see real change." Reader Sam commenting on the story, "Tewksbury Man Charged With Assaulting Elderly Family Member."

And Don't Forget: Editor Bill Gilman will be live on 980WCAP this morning at 8:20 a.m. talking to Teddy Panos about the top news in Tewksbury.
