The clean up day at Huguenot High School is Friday, March 29, from 9AM-12PM. Volunteers are needed to plant, weed, prune, spread mulch, and pick up trash. Please wear close toed shoes, and clothing you don’t mind getting dirty. Bring your own work gloves and hand tools such as pruners, loppers, shovels, and rakes. This is a great family and friend event, and all are welcome!
With Spring comes more park use, and unfortunately, more park litter. This event is being led my neighbor and member, Ja’Nai Frederick.
Volunteers will be helping to pick up trash and clean up Fonticello park. Be prepared to bend down to pick up trash, haul trash bags, and be on your feet walking around the park. Trash bags and trash grabbers will be provided. Bring comfortable shoes and a water bottle.
Tools and refreshments will be provided, as well as the great company of fellow community members. Volunteers, please RSVP here: http://tinyurl.com/Hickory-Hill
