Where: Pelham Bay Park, Bronx
When: Saturday, April 12 from 9:30 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.
NOTE: Because our site is so far away via public transportation, there will be a bus to the site that leaves on Sat. morning at 8:45am (from 214 W. 29th St. betw. 7th & 8th Ave) from the NY Cares offices. You must arrive by 8:45 to be registered and board the bus! (otherwise, you're on your own for arriving there by 9:30).
Cost: Free (but please bring a $5 donation to cover t-shirt)
Why:
- It’s fun, and a good way to get to know Bethesda people better, and connect with our church.
- You live in New York – why not make it a better place?
- You get a "free" t-shirt
- There’s a FREE “After Party” from 4-6, sponsored by the Brooklyn Brewery.
- You live an apartment... when do you ever get a chance to put your hands in the dirt and plant trees?
