Woodbine Street Tree Planting and Block Party

I recently received a flyer that was advertising the Woodbine Street Tree Planting and Block Party, and I wanted to help promote the event. On Saturday, April 28, 2007, the neighbors and residents of Woodbine Street, will host a family-friendly block party for the entire community. Inspired by their desire to get involved and to get to know their neighbors, they are organizing the first annual Woodbine Street Block Party! They are also inspired by the Mayor’s Million Trees LA campaign and will commemorate the event with generously donated trees from LADWP and TreePeople for plantings that will beautify Woodbine St. between Overland Avenue and Glendon Ave.

This event is completely organized by a diverse group of neighborhood volunteers. The vast majority live on Woodbine Street between Overland and Glendon Avenues. However, TreePeople, and other organizations, are providing outside volunteers for the tree planting event to make this project successful.

The benefits of a community block party that is inclusive of and embraces all people would be memorable and priceless, but they need your help to make it happen. Anything that you can donate or provide in the way of in-kind donations for the block party and tree planting will be genuinely appreciated. They will make sure to mention your generosity to the community and at the event. They especially need food and drinks for the volunteers (breakfast and lunch items for the day of the party are especially important). They also need donations in the form of refreshments, raffle prizes, money donations (for tree planting and rentals such as bouncer, canopies, etc.), decorations, and any other donations that you can think of.

If you have any questions about the Block Party, please feel free to call me or email me. You can also contact Manuel Huerta at manuel@sparcmurals.org. If you are a vendor, please also let us know if you would like to reserve a table from 10:30am-3pm on the day of the event.
