It’s My Park Day will be April 12th, 2008. Allandale was one of the first neighborhoods to participate in It’s My Park Day, and the tradition continues this year.

We need volunteers to act as site contacts on the day of the event. The site contact is the central location for the volunteers at each clean up, they sign in volunteers, hand out t-shirts, and distribute snacks and water. They do need to be at least 18 years old, and available on April 12th from 9:00-11:30 am. They do not need to trim brush, pick up trash etc.

The site contact is really an ambassador for Allandale, it is a great way to meet neighbors.

Please help me in encouraging participation. These events build awareness of our parks and their value to our community.

Volunteers can sign up online: http://www.austinparks.org/itsmypark.html
