Friends Become Local Entrepreneurs
Best friends and neighbors
from right here in Fairfax,
Matt and Ethan started M.E.
Landscaping in the Spring of
this year. These young entre-
preneurs have learned their
strong business ethics from
being active members of our
local Boy Scout troop in Marie-
mont. Matt is going into 8th
grade and Ethan will be in 6th
grade this Fall. Just like their
business card says “We get it
done”, these two are hard
workers and take pride in the
jobs they do. The services they
offer are grass cutting, edging,
trimming, leaf blowing, plant-
ing flowers, mulching, bush
trimming & removal, hedge
trimming, weed removal and
spraying for weeds. This Fall
they will offer leaf removal and
in the Winter they can shovel
and apply rock salt on sidewalks and driveways.
If you are in need of yard work services please contact them at: PH: 513-383-1095

booths. One booth will be a BAKE SALE and the other booth will
be collecting items for the YELLOW RIBBBON that will go to the
military. We are in need of baked goods (you can bake something
yourself or buy the baked goods). We are also looking for Christ-
mas Cards to send to the troops. If you have any left over from
last Christmas we would love to have them. People can come and
sign the cards at the Festival. We need items just like what we
collected in May. The money from the BAKE SALE BOOTH will
be divided between the Fire Dept. , the Police Dept., and drinks
for the Neighborhood Watch meetings.
Our next meeting will be on September 21st at 7:00.
