On Sunday, October 17 from 10AM until 2PM starting at MS 51 on Fifth Avenue between 4th and Fifth Streets join the Fall Sweep, a beautification, clean-up and recycling event sponsored by the Park Slope Civic Council:

Put on your work clothes and you’ll be painting over graffiti, mulching trees, planting daffodil bulbs, raking leaves, picking up litter and other projects.  You can also bring unwanted electronic devices (old t.v.’s, computers, toasters, etc.) for recycling by Greg’s Express.

There will be refreshments and bluegrass music courtesy of Vincent Cross and Good Company and the PSCC will provide all tools and supplies.  “I Made Park Slope Cleaner Today” stickers will be given to all volunteers.  Community Service vouchers will also be available.

While you’re at it: stop in at the annual Harvest Festival next door in Washington Park from 11 am to 3 pm with pony rides, pumpkin painting and more family fun.Make a clean sweep of your home and your neighborhood by joining the Park Slope Civic Council at the Fall Civic Sweep, our annual autumn beautification, clean-up and recycling event:
