It’s the final weekend of March! Hope all of you Greenpointers had an eventful and satisfying first quarter of the year. If your life has been as erratic as this weather, we hope you find some solace in the vibrancy of our neighborhood — which can definitely be felt through the weekend events. Let’s get started!
Saturday, March 26
Bright and early on Saturday, join in the McCarren Park Dog Run Clean-Up. This initiative is by McCarren Dog Allies and this is their first in-person meet up. The good barista folks from Variety Coffee will be providing coffee for all volunteers.
Also happening at 9 a.m. on Saturday is North Brooklyn Tree Care Day. Sign up with the NYC Parks Department here to help nurture the trees in our neighborhood. The team will meet at 64 Havemeyer Street. Mulch, tools, and supplies will be provided. Bring water, outdoor appropriate clothes…and those green thumbs!
Bake Sale for Ukraine will be taking place at McGolrick Park this Saturday at 10:30 a.m. Try delicious pastries baked by your neighbors, Greta Coffee and Kitchen, Peter Pan Donuts, Ovenly and King David Tacos.
Sunday, March 27
Talea Beer Co. (87 Richardson Street) is hosting a Sunday morning Yappy Hour Fundraiser. Dog owners, curious fosters and hopeful adopters should definitely drop by to find out more from Muddy Paws Rescue and Bond Vet Clinic. There will also be a raffle draw to win Talea beer and exclusive swag. All in all, a pawsome way to spend your Sunday!
