why we're doing it
“The "Greener Lenox" was a joint mention of the “The LEAGUE: Gentlemen’s Group”. We felt the idea is a direct way to build personality and character with our younger (and older) generations of brothers, while spending time mentoring and sharing OUR care in their "being".
The Impact - We hope as “The League” constantly strives to give our brother the will be to showcased at their best throughout...starting with our community.” Louis Johnson | “The LEAGUE: Gentlemen’s Group”
To maintain the trees and median flower planter-boxes by watering, weeding, removing trash & dead shrubbery, mulching, planting flowers and bulbs in tree beds, creating tree bed signs and building protective tree guards on a consistent basis.
