Annual Watershed Cleanup - THIS SUNDAY, September 21st, 1:00 - 2:30pm

Join Congregation Adat Reyim in our annual Watershed Cleanup, part of the worldwide International Coastal Cleanup event.

Join your fellow congregants, along with the Friends of Accotink Creek, to help protect our nearby watershed by spending some quality time cleaning up debris and learning how we can help prevent watershed pollution. Why is this important? Not only is litter ugly, but also trash is a threat to wildlife, such as birds, turtles, and fish that depend on the river.

All supplies will be provided. Wear long sleeves, pants, and old shoes or boots. This is a great family mitzvah project, something for all ages, and teens are eligible for community service credit. Join us afterwards for ice cream. In just a few hours we can really make a difference! For more information or to sign up, please contact socialaction@adatreyim.org.

New Location: Lake Accotink Park, lower parking lot (where we have Tashlich Services). Look for our sign.
