The faucet crisis (!)

Last week we faced some complications at the garden. During one of the member's shifts, the faucet that is used to water the plants broke off the wall in an accident. The situation was temporarily dealt with within a couple of hours when the school head engineer came to the rescue and shut the flow of the water from inside the building. However, since it wasn't clear when the faucet would be replaced by a new one by the VSB, we were left worried about the fate of our plants for the rest of the summer. On Tuesday of this week, I went to the school to see if I could talk to any of the engineers about the problem. I was directed to John, who told me that thankfully, a plumber was going to install a new faucet on the very same day. The key to the new tap was left for me at the office the next day and thereby, the faucet crisis happily came to an end and we all breathed a sigh of relief.

On a separate note, today is the last day of July and for the past month, our Garden Committee members have really dedicated themselves to taking care of the garden. I'd like to mention that the August schedule for watering shifts is now posted and many thanks are sent to Paloma Brioschi, Claire He, Jordan Chiu, Allie Peloquin, Michelle Chan, Danielle Mayo, Heather Ross, Sheida Naderi, Emma Gosselin, Swetha Yatham, Mike Zhai and Kavya Yatham for all their efforts in the past four weeks.
