Project Community Care will be 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, Aug. 24 at schools across the city.    Most activities involve landscaping, such as pulling weeds, painting and spreading bark dust. We thank the volunteers who joined Playworks Portland and Waggener Edstrom employees to get the ball rolling at Cesar Chavez School recently.   No registration is necessary for Project Community Care and all ages are welcome. Tools and supplies will be provided; individuals may also bring their own. Last year, 7,138 volunteers participated.
