Paradise PG: A Seussian Thank You
Good afternoon, friends from near and far, From garden beds to pickle jars. Paradise PG has come and gone— But oh, what magic it shone upon!
More than seventy‑five wonderful people came through the door, Friends old and new, and neighbors galore.
Donors and volunteers, side by side, delighting in all that your care supplied.
You didn’t just show up—no, you glowed. You celebrated what we’ve built and what’s still owed to the dreams ahead, the plans in sight, The projects waiting to take flight.
Our gardens giggled, our sidewalks gleamed, The Center bloomed like a Seuss‑y dream. Because you said yes—again and again— To tending beauty with heart and pen.
You said yes to showing up with cheer, yes to planting year by year. Yes, to pruning, yes to picking, yes to making PG kicking and clicking.
And when Paradise PG opened its gate, you filled the room—oh, it felt great! A gathering bursting with joy and delight, A celebration of everything shining bright.
We shared tropical treats and music sweet, A photo backdrop—bright, complete. And our Silent Auction? A whimsical spree of local wine and a cozy B&B, Historic art with Colburn’s glow And Blood’s bold hues in vibrant flow.
Each bid you placed—each little seed— Helps future projects sprout with speed. You’re growing dreams with every dollar, Making PG shine brighter, taller.
So, here’s our gratitude, loud and clear, for every heart that volunteered.
To donors—who saw blooms ahead before a single petal spread.
To garden crews—who knelt and sowed, who coaxed life up the winding road.
To Pickup Posse—walking proud, lifting litter, lifting cloud.
To neighbors—showing up with grace, bringing kindness to every place.
You are the heartbeat, strong and true— The “care” in Pacific Grove Cares is you.
And now—oh now! —a sneak preview of what comes next, of what we’ll do. Fresh ideas, early plans, ways to lend your voice and hands.
Paradise PG was a celebration of what you’ve grown— And a launchpad for what’s still unknown. Thank you for every yes, every smile, every spark.
We cannot wait—oh, what delight! — To see what we will grow next… Together, shining bright.
