A few things I just came across:
Philadelphia Cares about Fairmount Park Day, a city-wide spring cleaning and greening, will be held on Saturday, May 16th. In Philadelphia, no one has to go more than a mile to enjoy Fairmount Park. Its 9,200 acres are home to such treasures as the LOVE statue, Lemon Hill Mansion, and Memorial Hall. The interconnected community parks run from the Northeast to South Philadelphia and everywhere in between. Every year, hundreds of volunteer teams from local businesses, schools, churches and other groups celebrate spring by planting flowers, removing vines, and sweeping up winter debris.
Free Library Book Festival set for April 18-19 The Free Library Festival - a burst of books, music, and inspiration on the Parkway in Philadelphia - will take place Saturday and Sunday, April 18th and 19th, and the Parkway Central Library at 1901 Vine Street in Philadelphia. The schedule is two days full of stimulating talks by award-winning writers, live music, children’s entertainment, and a bustling literary marketplace thronged with booklovers and booksellers. A fun, free way to spend the day, the Free Library Festival connects booklovers from throughout the mid-Atlantic region with the culture makers of the literary world.
The Achieving Independence Center is seeking mentors for older youth in foster care. The organization will hold orientations/mentor trainings for interested volunteers on Monday, April 6th, from 5:30-7:30pm; and Wednesday, April 22nd, from 5:30-7:30pm. Refreshments will be provided. To sign up, call Stephanie Sylvain or Karen Minyety at 215-574-9194.
