Parkway Stewards and friends:

We meet each month usually on the second Saturday at the parking lot at the Northrop Avenue access, off Howe Avenue, behind Panera Bread. We sign in; trash bags are provided and new folks are oriented.  We then spend one hour removing trash from the UU Mile. We meet back next to the levee stairway for a photograph of our crew and the results of our efforts. Many of us then go over to Panera for refreshments and conversation. Please wear good shoes, bring gloves and water to hydrate, perhaps a “grabber”, and your volunteer spirit… consider masking if you deem it appropriate.

Good news: I have recently acquired a number of new ARPF Steward shirts in various sizes if you don’t have one already and want to show off your volunteer pride. I will have them Dec. 17th for you to choose from.

Looking forward to seeing you soon,

Eric Ross, Mile Steward
