The Park Slope Civic Council is organizing a civic sweep around the neighborhood this Saturday.

Help us clean and beautify our neighborhood!  Put on your old clothes and come to the Park Slope Civic Council’s Spring Civic Sweep on Saturday, April 19, 10 am to 2 pm.  Meet us in front of the Prospect Park Y on 9th Street between 5th and 6th Avenues.

Tools and supplies will be provided to pick up litter, scrape signs and paint graffiti off lampposts, mulch trees and plant daffodils.  Community Service vouchers will be available.

Bring your non-working compact fluorescent light bulbs for recycling.  Bring your working and non-working electronics (computers, fax machines, shredders, scanners – no TV’s, please) for recycling by Per Scholas in partnership with the Council on the Environment of NYC.  Bring your kids to participate in the Center for Urban Environment’s Children’s Composting Workshop from 10 am to noon.

Enjoy traditional bluegrass “with a twist” by Vincent Cross and Good Company.
