Celebration of Our Spring and Fall Cleanups in 2022

 


Spring, 2022 April 23  

 

 

This was an exceptional cleanup for us. It too place on a gorgeous spring day. We had nearly 50 volunteers including Friends, Boy Scouts, and members of the Tzu Chi Foundation who most generously provided us with lunch. We also had our new pup-up shelter! Everyone seemed pleased with all we accomplished. As you can see below, Emily Gelbert and the Boy Scouts did a remarkalbe refurbishing of the Echo Platform. We also noticed that the Ellis Street Parking Lot had become very messy and full of debris. We notified the City and it was cleaned up within days. See below.
