Team Grow's Green Gotham is still accepting volunteers (and dollars). We've gotten our project assignment, I'll just do a cut and paste from Alphabet's email:
Hi everyone! I have a few more details about the project now, which I hope will entice you to join. For those of you who have already signed up – thank you! Please use this information to recruit any friends you think might like to lend a hand ... be sure to sign up by this Friday, April 4, 2008.
The Project: We’ll be working on an Urban Farm in East New York. Yes, it’s crazy far out in Brooklyn, but it’s right off the 3 train and easy to get to. C’mon, channel that outer borough love! It’ll run from 9:30-3pm, and I’ll have more details from the site captain this week. This is a very cool project, especially if you’re at all interested in local/sustainable food.
The Goods: Free lunch, free T-Shirt, and an after-party with free booze sponsored by the Brooklyn Brewery! Oh, and free ego boost for doing something good for the community.
This is going to be a great project. Not only is the Urban Farm a great use of a former abandoned lot, the project promotes nutrition and local sustainable agriculture in the community. Here are some stories about the farm from last summer.
To volunteer, click here (soon!). To make a donation, click here. Special thanks to the following friends and blog readers who will be joining us on April 12, 2008: Sharon, Hannah, Jesse, Sarah and Emily.
