Hi Dennis,

How are you? Sorry I haven’t written for a long time, but
I’ve been very busy. I’m doing some volunteer work this
summer for a neighborhood conservation project and I
wanted to tell you about it.

We’ve already done so many things. We’ve collected trash

in a local park and we’ve cleaned graffiti off walls. Our
neighborhood looks much better already, but we haven’t
finished yet. Tomorrow we’re helping to make a rooftop
garden on top of the Town Hall. I can’t wait! The project is
hard work, but it’s a lot of fun and I’ve met some great
people, too.

How has your summer been? Write back soon.

Brian
