    Thursday, April 22nd, 2010

    waterfire_earthday
    WaterFire Providence invites all of our friends in the community to join us at the river for a pre-season Earth Day clean-up!
    Thursday, April 22: 9 a.m. until 1 p.m.
    Saturday, April 24: 10 a.m. until 4 p.m.

    There is a lot of ground (and river!) to cover in Waterplace Park- so gather your friends, brooms, gloves and sunscreen, and spend some time with us out in the springtime sunshine! We’re gathering volunteers to spruce up the paths and walkways of this beloved public space and rid our rivers of the tires, barrels, chairs and general bits of detritus that have accumulated since last season.

    Please contact WaterFire’s Volunteer Coordinator Allison Montagnon – allison@waterfire.org or 401.273.1155 x170 – to sign up and participate in this great community building initiative!
