The Oxford Community Garden and the Family Resource Center extend their thanks to the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity for all the help weeding, plowing and putting our community garden to bed for the winter. Thanks to Chris Bailo, Logan Brennan, Thomas Delves, Forbes Dever, Trevor Harris, Michael Kline, Matt McKee and Alexander Reinhardt for all of their hard work.
