Residents off of Sunshine Alley will join together on April 21 to help spruce up the alley in honor of Earth Day and the launch of our Pride in Place campaign.  

If fences need mending, or garage doors need painting, we will do it together on Saturday, April 21. Other things we will do are clean litter, remove rubbish, or plant flowers along our properties in order to beautify the alley. 

If you don't live off of Sunshine Alley, please consider lending a hand.  Let’s get outdoors on this magnificent day, help our neighbors and beautify our little world.

Location: Sunshine Alley runs between High Street and Kearny Avenue. It is accessible from Gordon Street or Harrison Place.
