From Gabriel Wang-Herrera

Just wanted to remind you (please pass it on) that our Monthly Frankford Community Garden Clean up night is tomorrow (Thursday) from 6 pm to about 8 pm or so. If you’re planning to attend please put on some bug spray, get some gloves and bring along your deweeding equipment. I’ll have gloves and equipment and bags as well!
Also note that from now on we’ll be having our Monthly clean up the second Thursday of the month so as not to conflict with the Frankford Civic Association meeting. Ironically I think the FCA moved their meeting time to tomorrow because of Labor Day – anyway, can’t please everyone everytime!! LOL!
Blessings,
Gabe
