Prospect Park Clean-up!

Thank you to the over 20 neighbors (plus a ton of kids) who worked to spruce up Prospect Park today!  Over 40 trees were mulched along the park perimeter and 20++ bags of leaves were raked and composted - hooray!  It was a beautiful day, and a powerful example of how our community can work together to make our neighborhood and park a more welcoming and beautiful place!

Also a huge thank you to Jessica and her Volunteer Corps staff - truely amazing, hardworking people who make our world a better place each and every day!  It was an honor to work alongside them today and we hope to do so again real soon.

VOLUNTEER April 26th! Beautify Lincoln Road Prospect Park Entrance

HI OCEAN AVENUE NEIGHBORS!

IT'S TIME TO BEAUTIFY OUR MOST AMAZING NEIGHBORHOOD TREASURE:  PROSPECT PARK.  LET'S WALK ACROSS THE STREET AND GET TO WORK!

Do you love Prospect Park?  Do you enter and exit the park at Lincoln Road?  Do you spend hours at Lincoln or Imagination Playground?  Do you live or work in PLG?  If you have answered yes to any of these questions, PLEASE COME SUNDAY, APRIL 26th at 10am to help us spruce up the Lincoln Road entrance to Prospect Park and surrounding areas!

I have worked the Prospect Park Volunteer Corps (http://www.prospectpark.org/get-involved/volunteer/) to set up this special event, and I guaranteed AT LEAST 15 ADULT (age 18+) VOLUNTEERS - but honestly, I think together we can far surpass that number if our neighborhood can come out in full-force to show how much we care about our park and our streets!  If you can make this event please E-MAIL ME DIRECTLY at alvmusick@gmail.com so I can get a preliminary headcount and register you for the event.  Kids are welcome, but must be with an adult who will be with them at all times (come on parents - all those hours we spend at the playgrounds - let's make them even more welcoming and show our kids how to help beautify our neighborhood).  Maybe you can even get a group together from your block, school or business and volunteer together?  That would be awesome.

Below are more details about the event provided to me by the Volunteer Corps.
