A message from Bangalore, India

Captain Carl, one of Beautify CNMI's original volunteers (can we call him a forefather?), recently traveled to Bangalore for medical treatment. He issued a challenge to all of us right before he left: He challenged us to plant a tree every time we go off island and to leave behind a sign saying that it was a gift from Beautify CNMI.

I received this email this morning:

Greetings from Bangalore. The spirit of Beautify CNMI Volunteerism has been successfully carried "across borders". Let's make "across borders" a part of Beautify CNMI. Why is the tree in a pot? There is a story. More later.

Regards,

Cap Carl

Lookin' good, Cap! The plumeria looks good, too. Hurry home!
