Leaving Leaves, Social hour, and Parking Day!

Welcome to the end of summer! We had an amazing circus potluck party, and rounded up volunteers for fun crosswalk and street art painting projects.

 

We have a lot of exciting things coming up this Fall:

We are ramping up for a very exciting campaign this Fall-- Leave the Leaves! Promote soil health, butterfly and firefly habitat and environmental sustainability (check out our site for everything you need to know).

 

Would you be able to help us by:

Taking a 1-1.5 hour walk around the city dropping flyers (or know anyone who can help? We need 50 sign ups, so please forward this along!)

 

Would you be willing to post a "Leave the Leaves" yard sign?

 

If so please fill out this form!

 

Join us for our kick-off walk on Sunday September 29th, and post-walk 4:30pm hang out at Solace with drinks and bites.

 

And if you have any questions about Leaving Leaves, join our Sunday Oct 20th virtual Q&A with experts!

 

 Contributions 

Thank you to everyone who pitched in to help us get leave the leaves and welcoming materials printed! We made it about half way to our $400 goal. 

If you haven't yet, and you're up to contributing $10 or $20 to help us cover the costs, it would go a long way. And if you'd prefer your contribution is only spent on one of the campaigns, just note that in the message!

 

If you want to get involved in other ways, just let us know! Or if you're up to help deliver our awesome Welcome flyers around town, reply to this email.

 

PARK(ing) Day -- Friday September 20th 9am- 4pm-- is a global annual event where parking spots typically used by cars are transformed into temporary pop-up parks to rethink the use of urban spaces. Check out the Falls Church celebration at 479 S Maple Ave with games, displays and more!

 

Finally save the date for our next  Kidical Mass Halloween Rideon Oct 27th at 4pm!

 

 

See you soon!
