Bayside
Anglers Group Ltd.
Proudly Presents an
Earth Day Celebration
“Bayside Anglers
Waterfront Day”
17th
Annual Little Neck Bay Beach Clean-up
9am Sunday April 10th 2011
(this is a rain or
shine event)
Every
April, with the cooperation of the NYC Parks Dept. and Partnership for Parks,
the Bayside Anglers Group, Ltd., a non-profit organization dedicated to the
promotion of environmentally sound recreational fishing practices, holds our award winning Annual Beach Clean-up. We spend the day
cleaning a winter’s worth of floating debris from the shores of Little Neck Bay. We encourage other community groups as well as the
general public to pitch in with us. Volunteers will be provided with
refreshments and food. To spice things up, all participants are
entered for a chance to win raffle prizes provided courtesy of our
generous and committed sponsors.
This project will cover the nearly 3 mile stretch
of public shoreline from Bass Beach at the back of the bay up to but
not including Fort Totten, then across Little Bay Park all the way to the sea
wall at Utopia Parkway. The manpower of environmentally minded
individuals, local schools, and community groups, as well as the logistical and
financial support of local and national businesses and corporations combine to
make this day fun, rewarding and environmentally meaningful. Perhaps your
community or youth group would be interested in participating. We welcome all volunteers.
Organizations wishing to participate in this event should contact our
event coordinator by March 21st with a list of members/volunteers
that will be attending. This will simplify the registration process as well as
provide us with an estimated headcount so that we can have adequate
refreshments and food for everyone.
Certificates of Community Service will be available to
participants who request them. We ask that you please RSVP by March 21st to allow time to prepare them. If you can’t attend, but wish to support this
event, you can send your tax-deductible contribution made payable to Bayside
Anglers Group Ltd. to P.O. Box 605048 Bayside, NY 11360
All Volunteers are encouraged to bring their own basic
tools (heavy gloves/work gloves, paper grabber/ez reachers). We are
expecting a very large turnout and don’t want to run out of supplies.
Volunteers are also encouraged to wear boots or similar footwear with traction
to help prevent slipping on rocks.
First aid kits will be available at the sign-in booths.
Please RSVP by March 21st
