UMNA is joining forces with all the other neighborhood groups and businesses along Monroe Avenue to tidy up our βMain Streetβ before the eclipse event on April 8th. We are focusing exclusively on Monroe Avenue for this effort since most visitors will experience our neighborhood by traveling along Monroe and visiting business found on Monroe Avenue. Our efforts on March 30th will NOT replace: 2024 April 16: 2025 Preventative Maintenance Project Public Meeting #1
When: Saturday, March 30th starting at NOON ("Rain or shine")
Duration: Only one hour (Noon until 1:00 pm)
Where: Corner of Rosedale Street & Monroe Avenue (MAP LINK)
What: Walking along Monroe Ave. picking up trash & debris. Some of those who have signed up will be doing light spring cleanup of our community gardens along Monroe Ave. at the same time.
Materials: Garbage bags and related materials will be provided by the City of Rochester. If you have "garden gloves" or similar to cover your hands, feel free to bring them with you.
REGISTER: Click here to register. We need a decent headcount to prepare for lunch. Please register even if you aren't 100% certain you'll be able to attend.
FREE LUNCH FOR ALL VOLUNTEERS AT 1:30 pm in front of 585 Monroe Avenue.
