Help clean up Grant Circle on MLK Jr Day

Grant Circle ( Maps)

by Steve Feingold

Come join me and your neighbors on Monday, January 16th at 10am to work in Grant Circle for an Martin Luther King, Jr Day of Service event. The goals are to pick up the trash that’s blown into the park recently, and to remove some of the English ivy vines growing in the planting beds. 

There’s plenty of vines to be pulled, so we could use your help! This is a kid-friendly event and no gardening experience is needed. Help keep Grant Circle and our neighborhood looking beautiful!

Many hands might light work!
