Central Park Volunteer Day

May 6, 2023 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

DATE/TIMESATURDAY, MAY 6th, 10AM - NOON

WHAT: Past events have included raking, planting, pruning, painting, weeding, and more.

WHERE: TBD at a location in Central Park

WHY: Heather Marcellis launched these events for the Flyers with Central Park Conservancy (CPC) in 2004, and she and Dave Kleckner have co-led together since 2010. The intent remains to give back and help maintain the beauty that is Central Park, where so many of us do so much of our running. We've held these events as often as 2-3 times per year, and not since the pandemic, but just got the go-ahead from CPC to resume.

WHY ELSE: Camaraderie and Cookies (Heather will be baking and bringing her extraordinary cookies once again) 🍪🍪🍪

Registration: Procedures have changed. CPC no longer is limiting this to NY Flyers participants. Rather it is first come first serve via the CPC website. So please only register if you know you can make it, but please don't delay since the event is open to the public and will sell out -- so if you don't act quickly you may get closed out.

You can register HERE (Unfortunately, this event quickly filled up and is currently unavailable.)

NOTE: Once you register, PLEASE SEND AN EMAIL TO DAVE KLECKNER at: blogmaster@nyflyers.org so we can compile a list of everyone attending this event.

We hope to see you there!

***UPDATE (APRIL 12, 2023): The event already is sold out, however, Central Park Conservancy said they'll accommodate 4 more Flyers beyond those who already registered by April 11th.

So please email me at blogmaster@nyflyers.org if you'd like to be one of the Lucky 4 to be added to the list of registrants -- FIRST COME FIRST SERVE 😊
