Do Something REAL to Help this Earth Day!

Every year, Bridgeport unites to clean up our parks!  The Palmisano and McGuane Park Advisory Councils recently announced their Fourth Annual Bridgeport Clean and Green.  This year we'll be cleaning up Palmisano and McGuane Parks, as well as Halsted St. from 26th to 36th, 31st from Lituanica to Canal, and 35th from Racine to Shields.  It's Saturday, April 18, 2015, between 9am and 1pm.  Stop by the field house on or ask a volunteer for a bag!
 
Turnout in the past has been as many as 100, but this year it could be even more! Children are welcome, but they must be accompanied by adults.

Your checklist:

• Tools and bags will be available. 
• Gloves will be available, but the organizers would appreciate more. 
• Bring your reusable water bottles, sun protection, and work-appropriate shoes and clothing. 
• Breakfast snacks served!

All Volunteer Potluck

Sorry folks, due to unforseen circumstance the potluck at Palmisano Park was cancelled. We look forward to joining them on our neighbors for the Aug 17 Family Fun Day (5-8) with kite flying, Fishmobile, nature walks followed by Watch the Stars presented by Adler Planetarium from 8-10. Details to come.
