WEEK 1
Philadelphia Kicks off NeighborWoods Month!
It’s
NeighborWoods Month! The national campaign officially kicks off this
Wednesday. By October 5, already 34 organizations will have
organized 86 events in 40 cities around the country. Week One is
headlined by the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society’s Fall
for Your Park event, at which 300 to 400 volunteers will participate in
a large scale workday at one Philadelphia park. The day will include
tree and bulb plantings, mural painting, woodland restoration, graffiti
removal, and trash clean-up. Councilwoman Marion Tasco, Mayor Michael
Nutter (invited), State Senator Shirley Kitchen, and Congressman Dwight
Evans are among just a few of the leaders from Philadelphia and around
the country who will participate in NeighborWoods Month 2008!
