MLK Day work party @ 12th and Trenton in SP

January 12th, 2011

I know, I know… work and party don’t naturally go together, but there is a special breed out there that enjoy taking on a challenge and kicking it’s as*(terisk).

Martin Luther King Day is traditionally a day of public service.  MLK Day is coming up next Monday, January 17th, and we just happen to have a project that is ready made for public participation.
The Friends of Twelfth and Trenton have been meeting, planning and designing for a pocket park at the top of the stairs at, well, 12th & Trenton.
Anyone who walks South Park will scoff and say “Hah, how can they plan a park at the top of those stairs?  It’s just a bunch of blackberries and broken beer bottles.”  That is where the vision of the few, and the public service of the many can come together to make the difference.
We will assemble at noon on Monday, January 17th and pit (Wo)Man against invasive… pluck vs. pickers… hard-ass vs. broken glass!!!
If you have the day off, and you want to participate, show up at noon with leather gloves and a six-pack of resolve.
If you have the day off, and you don’t want to participate, show up at noon with a six-pack…
If you don’t have the day off, but do want to participate, just send a check for the six-pack!
Seriously though, if you can make it on Monday, we would love the help… and we would love to meet and interact with our neighbors.
If I missed a detail, please ask for more…
