Dear John,
We need your help tomorrow, Sunday, March 15th, to
help us load up bricks that have been generously donated
to Space Park
(815-817 W Roscoe) from Chicago Special Events
Management (CSEM) and Belgard, as part of this year's
Chicago Flower & Garden Show.
Volunteers should RSVP today (Saturday) and be at Space
Park tomorrow (Sunday) at 4:45PM to be transported to
Navy Pier. Please bring heavy work gloves (if you
have them). Wear long sleeve shirts, jeans and
work boots. We'll coordinate transportation
to/from Navy Pier. We expect this will take 3
hours but the more people we have, the quicker it will
go.
The bricks themselves will be delivered on Monday
morning via trucks we have arranged with the help of
several volunteer coordinators from Kemora Landscapes,
Clean Streets and Central Lakeview Merchants
Association. Please be aware the alley between
Roscoe and Buckingham will be blocked to traffic on
Monday during the unloading. We apologize in
advance for any inconvenience.
Remember volunteers get a 20% discount on
purchasing engraved bricks for the
park! | |
