PTTG FLYER FINAL

Councilperson Parker Agelasto has purposely scheduled his 5th District Clean Up the same day (Saturday, April 12) as VCU’s Paint The Town Green event.

I have heard that St. Andrew’s Church will be joining in- from Deacon Barbara Ambrose-

St. Andrew’s will have a clean up day at the church on Saturday April 12. Perfect timing for us to prepare for all the festivities of Holy week! We will hold a prayer service at 8:15 or 8:30 and would love to invite the other volunteers to join us. We are also talking about having some refreshments available for volunteers if they want to take a break. If you want to forward this e-mail to whoever is heading up the neighborhood effort, feel free to do so.

And we had a blast at the Fairfield Middle School Health Fair – organized by the students! We did a cooking demonstration and promoted WBCH’s Early Childhood Education preschool and summer camp programs. What did we make? Bok Choy and Leek stir-fry with fresh Garlic and Ginger garnished with a squeeze of fresh Lemon. Folks were lined up for those samples!
