PPRA Volunteers Sought for 2011 Philly Spring Cleanup on Saturday, April 2

PPRA members are invited to take part in the Philly Spring Cleanup event on Saturday, April 2.  Volunteers from PPRA will meet at the Callowhill/Reading Viaduct Neighborhood Improvement site at 11th and Callowhill Streets in Center City to work alongside other volunteers from the community.  The event is scheduled from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.; however, if volunteers are able to join us for part of the day, that would be helpful as well.  PPRA Board members will be on hand to meet volunteers so please let us know when you arrive!

 If you would like to take part, please click here.  From there, please select Center City from the "Neighborhood" drop down menu and register for the Callowhill site.

 If you have any questions, please contact Jill Flanagan, Chair of the Community Service Committee at jill.flanagan@villanova.edu.  We encourage interested volunteers to sign up for the event as soon as possible to ensure slots are still available.  Hope to see you there!
