Boston Shines - Please join us!
Greetings Neighbors,
It’s that time again! Boston Shines is on Saturday, April 27th. Please join us for our 9thth year. Last year’s event was a huge success and the after party was great fun.
More
info. to follow, but this season we will be adding to climbing vines
along A Street on the USPS wire fence to create an attractive visual
mitigation of the parking lot view. Sean, The Mayor’s South Boston
Liaison will need to know how many tools we’ll need, special requests,
and the number of volunteers.
We
will gather at 9AM in the Channel Center Park near Barlow’s. As always
there will be coffee and pastries in the morning and signs posted with
more info.
The after party will be at
Wormwood Park on Sunday at 3:00 (Too cold usually Sat night). List of
food contributors to follow. Updated info. will also be available on the
Fort Point Blog at fortpointneighborhood.org.
It
would be helpful if someone could transport goodies to 300 Summer, the
other tool drop off and gathering site We could use a 300 Summer point
person or two as well. The clean up is a great opportunity to get to
know new and old neighbors. We all well know this kind of commitment
sends a message to stakeholders and elected officials, but that
shouldn't be the only reason we buff up Fort Point Channel. See you
there!
If anyone has questions or suggestions please send an email to cam.zin@verizon.net, or call 617-797-2307
