As we mentioned, the City of Philadelphia announced their 4th Annual Philly Spring Cleanup, “Keep Up the Sweep Up”, on Saturday, April 2, 2011 (rain date, Saturday, April 9) from 9 AM- 2 PM.
Green Philly Blog is partnering with another local blog, greenlimbs. Together, we’re thrilled to announce that we’ll be keeping & ‘sweeping’ in South Philadelphia’s Queen Village neighborhood (300-600 Washington Avenue). We’ll need volunteers to help bag trash, recycle, tend trees and prepare beds for spring planting – (and we’ll even have a Pennsylvania Horticultural Society-trained tree tender in our group).
You can sign up to volunteer with us through the Streets Department site or by emailing us directly to greenphillyblog@gmail.com. Please RSVP with your name, email, and length of time (9-2 or when available). Plus, the first wave of volunteers will receive t-shirts! 🙂 For more info, visit our 4th Annual Philly Cleanup – Queens Village page and our Facebook Event Page here.
Paddy Whack’s (2nd & South) is sponsoring a Happy Hour for all volunteers from 2:30-4pm, so you can celebrate with other volunteers after!
We’re looking forward to volunteering with you!
