Neighbors,

Come out to our 8th annual Earth Day Clean up April 21, 9a-12p followed by a pot luck BBQ.

We will meet at the Art Wall on Peterson, break up into groups and clean our ‘hood’. We need helpful dog owners to clean ‘dog poo’ behind the White Elephant, as well as do lots of weeding. Any gardeners out there? We need weeding done at the Art Wall garden too. Other tasks are; walking along the Estuary rocks grabbing washed up debris, walking the streets with pick up sticks cleaning trash, sweeping broken glass on Derby between the WES bldg & UC Boathouse. Anyone with trucks? Trash bags and green waste bags need to be hauled to two dumpsters, donated by Waste Management, on Derby St. Bring gloves, and any favorite weeding tools, larger tools provided.
Not an early riser? Come help for a little while, stay and meet your neighbors at the BBQ. Can’t walk around? Help with sign in, set up the food tables, start the BBQ.
Questions? email me,
Cynthia
