TRASH BASH VII
Sunday, April 23, 2006 is TRASH BASH VII. Trash bash is what we call the neighborhood clean-up efforts that we do annually around Earth Day. This is our 7th organized effort and my fourth year to organize the event.
If you missed out, ask Jay how much fun it is to meet new friends and do your good deed by helping to clean up the trash. As disgusting as it can be, it still manages to be fun. There's also the added bonus of a free afternoon barbeque, whether you clean up or not.
Did I mention the free food? Free beer? Free ice cream?
This year we're doing something even better! We're raffling off some prizes for all those that help clean. So while everyone can come to the (free) bbq, only those that clean are eligible for the raffle. An iPod Mini, some great wines, and some gift certificates from local merchants are among the prizes.
DETAILS:
SUNDAY April 23, 2006
Cleaning starts at 9am at 229 Harrison (at 3rd St) and goes until around noon. FREE Barbeque starts at 1pm at the same location.
We need RSVP's so that we can make sure that we have enough tools, food, and beverages. Also let us know if you are vegetarian. RSVP by email (preferred) trashbash@jlda.org or by calling Joanna at Jack London Mail (510) 893-4100 - leave a message if I'm not there.
You can see a few photos from last year's event online at http://www.jlda.org/trashbashvi/. There are also photos from 2004 (http://www.jlda.org/trashbashv) and from 2003 (http://www.jlda.org/trashbash).
Hope to see a great turnout - hopefully the sun will be back out in full force!
Thanks!
