Hello Everyone!
The first annual Earth Week went very well! We had 27 activities in 9 days and over a dozen organizations participating!!! Thank you to everyone who worked hard to make this a successful event!!
Here are a few highlights from the week
Community Pride, Community Wide Litter Pick-up: The Frank Wilson Park location was cancelled due to the lack of participation however the other four sites did very well accumulating dozens of bags of trash from throughout the community! Great Job Guys!!
Earth Day 5 K: Hosted over 90 participants! T-shirts, food, and drinks were provided to participants. What a great time! Good Work!
Friends of
Philpott Environmental Expo: Over 400 people attended this event and dozens of
vendors were advertising
their organizations from throughout the area. What a great time and such great exposure for us!

VMNH provided environmental programs for
school groups for
Earth Week. Over 300 students participated in this event!
Screen on the Green: At this event we had kids playing recycling games, getting their faces painted, playing on playground equipment, playing with bubbles before showing the movie, "Over the Hedge." We had over 50 people attend this event.
