De-paving Party

From
parking lots to paradise: Help the Gay Head Green Block neighbors pull
up asphalt in two paved-over back yards and make room for gardens and
recreation space. Help reduce urban heat island effect and storm water
flooding, and have fun too!

We'll have grills going in a
neighbors yard, so feel free to come hungry or with food to share. Kids
are welcome to play in a neighbor's yard or if they're old enough to be
safe, they can work with a responsible adult partner.

Join the party by signing up for one or more roles:
* Hands-on work:
- Use a sledgehammer and pick axe to pry up the asphalt
- Haul chunks of asphalt in a wheelbarrow to the dumpster
* Bring tasty food
* Take photos or video
* Organize publicity
* Organize clean-up
