Happy Friday!!!!! Tomorrow, Saturday, June 3, 2017, the Friends of Pelham Bay Park will be hosting their last Spring service project and we need YOU! Please read the details on the flyer below. We will be pulling out weeds, so please dress appropriately (no shorts, no flip flops, bring them in your bag if you wish to stay in the beach). Meet us in the parking lot, by the entrance of the only staircase. The staircase is pretty huge, and large to miss! We will be there promptly at 10am. If you aren't familiar with the area, please google it, and get an idea. If you are driving, you need to email me today, so you can get the parking fee waived, [email protected] See you tomorrow!!!

Happy Tuesday! Tomorrow is our fundraising deadline and we are still $940 shy from reaching our goal.

All monies will go towards the Bronx River Alliance's free community paddling program. It isn't a huge ask, and we believe that collectively we can reach our goal. Thanking you all in advance! https://www.firstgiving.com/team/350022
