Friends of Brook Park: Donations / Wish List

Hello from Friends of Brook Park!

Spring is here, and we've got all kinds of great stuff going on here in the South Bronx and beyond! Since you heard from us last, more and more amazing things have been going on and there's still plenty of room to grow. Stay current through our blog: http://www.friendsofbrookpark.org/blog/

In fact, one of our biggest projects this season will be working to break ground and remove the asphalt section of our Brook Park. The Green Team teens are back and many more schools are interested in our efforts, thanks to Teacher Orientation sessions. We have revamped our compost bin so bring some of your food scraps next time you visit! Also, in April, we will recommence our public paddling programs, so you on the river!

In order to continue this progress, though, we need the continued support of our friends and supporters. One of the best ways that you can do this is to become a member of the Friends of Brook Park Green Circle, by contributing $25/month! It's pretty inexpensive, goes a long way towards creating a space for community and creativity, and we make sure every penny goes a long way. This year we are working with interns form the New School and Hunter College for Social Work too.
