This weekend’s spring-like weather means only one thing: Bloomingdale Community Day 2017 is just around the corner!  As usual, Bloomingdale’s biggest event will be held the Saturday after Mother’s Day.  (This year the event is May 20.)

We need your help to plan the Community Day!   The event is a success only with the help of many volunteers.  We need you, and our first volunteer meeting is THIS WEDNESDAY!

• What: Community Day Kick-Off Meeting
• Where: 2015 First St. NW
• When: 7pm, Wednesday, February 22
• Who: All interested in helping out!

Hope to see you there!

On Thursday, January 26 and Friday, January 29, there will be tree work in Crispus Attucks Park.  Arborists will be trimming tree branches, lopping dead branches, and removing some trees that are either dead or past their safe lifespan.  The arborists will use equipment ranging from pole pruners to chainsaws.

Be safe, and please avoid areas of the park where this work is ongoing!

Crispus Attucks Park doesn’t manage itself!  Join us Tuesday, January 10 for the next quarterly meeting of Crispus Attucks Development Corporation.   We’ll update on progress made in 2016 and begin to plan 2017.  Share your input and volunteer to take on a role.  Remember, the park runs entirely on volunteers!

• What: CADC Quarterly meeting
• When: 7:00pm – 8:00pm, Tuesday January 10
• Where: 38 V St NW

We hope you will join us!

Crispus Attucks Park needs volunteers to get ready for winter!  Meet us this Saturday, November 19, to help mulch flowerbeds, prune trees, plant bulbs, clean up leaves, and dig out a post.  We’ll have coffee and snacks!

• What: Fall Workday
• When: 9am-noon, Saturday November 19
• Where: Memory Garden, Crispus Attucks Park

We only have a few workdays a year, and this will be our last one for 2016.  See you in the memory garden at 9am!
