Capture the Trash information letter

Posted by ppna on April 10, 2008

Hey all!

Are you getting pumped to Capture the Trash in Frog Island and Riverside Parks on Saturday, April 12? Here is the information you’ve been waiting for with ALL of the details.

Timeline

* Registration will be from 11-12pm at Riverside Park in Ypsilanti.
* We’ll be assigning clean-up teams when you arrive.
* Participants are invited to enjoy lunch (pizza and salad) courtesy of Aubree’s Pizza and Pub 13 and interact with a rain barrel display from the EMU-City of Ypsilanti Stormwater Management Group.
* Clean-up will last from 12-3pm followed with a brief awards ceremony for our crazy categories.

**For those of you coming after 12, check in at the tent when you arrive!

Location

* Meet by the circle drive off of Cross Street in Riverside Park.
* We’ll have a tent set up, so you won’t be able to miss it!
* You can park in Depot Town or by Frog Island Park and walk over.

The Essentials

* We will provide trash bags and gloves for all participants.
* Wear appropriate clothing. We’ll be awarded a prize for the most spirited team, so feel free to dress the part.
* We will be cleaning up rain or shine!
* Feel free to bring friends : )

Let us know if you need a ride or want to carpool, and we can arrange something. If any of this is unclear or if you have any further questions, don’t hesitate to contact me!

Thank you for volunteering this Saturday to clean-up the parks!

GO GREEN!

Anyone interested in Presenting Ypsilanti History

Posted by ppna on April 10, 2008

I’m thinking about proposing a historical Ypsilanti Re-enactments at the 2008 Heritage Festival. I’ve long been frustrated that the Ypsilanti Heritage Festival has lacked Ypsilanti Heritage. I guess I should concentrate on getting the ball rolling and seeing where it goes.

We could re-enact the Horse-Trader and the Ladies of Negotiable Affection in depot town. Create the big East Side vs. West side conflict that divided the city. I’m sure there are hundreds of stories we could tell of events and influential people in the city and we could tell them on or around where they happened.

Let me know if you have any ideas.
