[Rosanne.Foley at codman.org]

Dear Friend of the Neponset,
 
Does your blood BOIL at the sight of the Neponset River lined with rusty 
grocery carts and bikes, car tires and old plastic bags? Well, it's time 
to take action. 
 
Join us as we REMOVE this garbage from the river at 9:30AM on Saturday, 
October 27.  We'll meet at the Central Ave. bridge on the border of Milton 
and Mattapan. Here is a hyperlink to a map of the site; feel free to

With your help, we'll pull a variety of debris from the river banks and 
from the river itself. We'll work until about noon, transferring the 
garbage onto the shoulder of the Neponset Greenway trail for the Milton 
Department of Public Works to pick up and dispose of. Please remember to 
wear protective clothing; the water and river-bottom sediment in this 
segment of the Neponset River are not pristine.
 
Please RSVP by Thurs., Oct. 25, to Carly at rocklen at neponset.org or

seeing you!
