Hello! Two of our members were recently rewarded as recipients of the STLBAC Community Engagement Grant and wanted to share a little about their project. Here is the link to their interest form: https://l.instagram.com/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fforms.gle%2FMaYJoocXJBRJXuJS7&e=AT3dOCamly7U-RJjGX4DWTX4vL6vADpR3B_p-lzhiAeeysuBXdOWDdYWJJNOwPIjcvJ3fKcBAVa6IZ_ahE9EHGP6u0lGyEPADS_7_g

"We are Elma Bjelevac and Amir Ugarak, and we were recently rewarded as recipients of the STLBAC Community Engagement Grant. Our goal is to plant 300 trees in areas that will benefit all members of our Balkan community. We hope to create a positive environment for ourselves and future generations by beautifying the community and promoting well-being while leaving a lasting impact. Some of the benefits of planting trees are, but not limited to, increased property values, healthier air quality, and the improvement of mental health.
Please, if you have the time, fill out our interest form for locations where you would like to see trees planted. If you would like a tree on your property, there will be another form sent out at a later date with more information.
Thank you for your time and cooperation,
Elma and Amir

Zdravo!
Mi smo Elma Bjelevac i Amir Ugarak, a nedavno smo nagrađeni kao dobitnici STLBAC granta za angažman u zajednici. Naš cilj je da zasadimo 300 stabala na područjima od kojih će imati koristi svi članovi naše balkanske zajednice. Nadamo se da ćemo stvoriti pozitivno okruženje za sebe i buduće generacije uljepšavanjem zajednice i promicanjem dobrobiti, ostavljajući trajan utjecaj. Neke od prednosti sadnje drveća su, ali nisu ograničene na, povećanje vrijednosti imovine, zdraviji kvalitet zraka i poboljšanje mentalnog zdravlja.
Molimo vas, ako imate vremena, ispunite našu formu interesovanja za lokacije na kojima biste željeli vidjeti zasađeno drveće. Ako želite drvo na svom imanju, bit će poslat drugi obrazac kasnije s više informacija.
Hvala na izdvojenom vremenu i saradnji,
Elma i Amir"
