Housatonic River Cleanup

05:01PM / Monday, June 01, 2009

HOUSATONIC, Mass. - The cleanups are being organized by Berkshire Regional Activist and Volunteer Organization (BRAVO) in collaboration with Berkshire Environmental Action Team (BEAT). Details about each event are below, followed by additional volunteer opportunities associated with the cleanups if anyone is interested.

1) Saturday, June 6, 2009 @ 366 Newell Street, Pittsfield, Massachusetts. Parking is available at Belanger Athletic Field, across the street from our rendevous point on Newell Street. The event begins at 10:00 AM and will go until approximately 5:00 PM, but you may arrive and leave anytime. We will be cleaning up the section of river along Parkside Avenue and nearby area.There will be donuts and coffee compliments of Dunkin Donuts for those who will be present in the morning, and pizza compliments of East Side Cafe for those present at the end of the day.

2) Saturday, June 13, 2009 from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM (but as with the 6th, you may come and go whenever you'd like). Currently we do not have a rendevous point or a suitable location for serving the donated donuts & coffee and pizza. I asked Harry's Supermarket to use part of their parking lot, but was told that would not be allowed. We are in the process of contacting other suitable locations in the area. If anyone has any suggestions or perhaps has a house or knows someone with one in the vicinity, please contact me. We will be cleaning up the section of river in the vicinity of Elm Street, along Deming Street and the surrounding area.

As for the other volunteer opportunities for anyone interested, there are as follows:

* to pick up donated supplies
* hand out and hang up flyers
* drop off flyers and notification letters to immediate neighborhood
* Compose and send thank you notes to sponsoring and donating businesses
* securing a rendevous point for June 13 cleanup
* create a sign to be placed roadside at cleanup
* carpool to pick up those wishing to volunteer with no transportation
* miscellaneous phone calls to volunteers, etc.

If you are interested in assisting with any of these items, please contact me by either replying to this email or calling me at (413) 464-6806. If you have any other questions or concerns, by all means, contact me for other such reasons as well. I hope that you all will find the time to stop by and help out at some point during the day on June 6 or 13.
