Earth Day Creek Clean Up (1)
EARTH DAY ON THE GREENWAY
Celebrate Earth Day’s 40th birthday on the Prince Memorial Greenway with a clean up of Santa Rosa Creek. The restored creek flowing through the heart of downtown provides a home for river otter, kingfishers, egrets, and steelhead trout as well as parks, public art, and recreation along the six mile creek trail.
Date: Saturday April 25
Time: 9:00 – noon
Location: Olive Park footbridge near the Vineyard Creek Hotel on West 3rd St.
Noah and I will be going to help out at this event.
We hope you can join us for this great opportunity to introduce our children to the idea of community service and environmental responsibility.
USA Service (0)
The new Obama Administration has set up a website for people to get connected to the needs of their community (local and global) with usaservice.org.
This national day of service will fall on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, January 19, 2009 and, unlike past calls to service, President-elect Obama is calling on all Americans to do more than just offer a single day of service to their cities, towns and neighborhoods. He is asking all of us to make an ongoing commitment to our communities. Never has it been more important to come together in shared purpose to tackle the common challenges we face. This website is designed to help promote these events and for Americans to make their commitments, build communities, find opportunities to serve and share their results. These can be events that engage people in direct service, or bring people together to reflect on Dr. King's legacy and how they can commit to becoming more engaged citizens.
If you are interested in receiving updates about service projects that you can become involved with, you can sign up for information at usaservice.org
