As mentioned last time, we are hosting a large event on Sunday May 16th from 1-5, where all are encouraged to come and let the city know what needs improvement in Gulick Park. Beside the information gathering, there will be food and entertainment.
Call for Help:
We are asking that if any of you would like to volunteer, please e-mail us (info@gulickpark.org). People are sought to assist a main coordinator with the model-making station (helping children and adults model their dream park from craft materials), the story-map (helping people write or draw their memories and opinions of the park on a large map) and other events. Some light set-up help would be great too! As always, we encourage community involvement–make the park your own!
We are also specifically looking for those willing to help with face-painting for children or photography to document the day. If you or someone you know has skills in these areas, please let e-mail us.
Donations now accepted:
Lastly, we have secured a fiscal sponsor to accept tax-deductible donations on our behalf! The Lower East Side Ecology Center will be a conduit for donations to our group. Donations will go toward future events, park beautification supplies such as plants and flowers, the ping-pong table, etc.
If you wish, please write checks to “The Lower East Side Ecology Center” and in the memo field write “to The Friends of Gulick Park”. Your generosity will be greatly appreciated and duly recognized.
