There are lots of opportunities to get involved coming up. Let’s do this chronologically…

• Saturday June 25. Collecting petitions at Brooklyn Bridge Park. We’ll be doing two shifts. Please meet David at the foot of Atlantic Avenue (Pier 6) in Brooklyn at 10:30am or 1:30pm. Call him at 212-864-2069 to let him know you’re available.

• Sunday June 26. Collecting petitions at New Amsterdam Market and Fulton Stall Market. Meet at 10:45am at either location (South St. just north of Fulton, on either side of South). Please email us to let us know your availability.

Alternatively, if you plan to be at the Wooden Boat Show in Mystic this weekend, why not pick up a few (thousand) signatures there? Email us and we’ll get you a clipboard and some supplies!

• Tuesday June 28. Community Board 1 Full Meeting. 6pm at New York Law School, 185 West Broadway (Map). We need to show up in force again to demonstrate our passion and to see how the resolution is coming along.

• Thursday June 30. Save Our Seaport Meeting. We will meet at 6:30pm at the St. Margaret’s Meeting Room, 49 Fulton St. (Map) We have a great deal to discuss and much to plan. Please attend!

• Saturday July 16. City Of Water Day! This will be a big event for us, and a lot of fun. There are several ways to get involved.

We will have tables set up at Liberty State Park and on Governors Island. It would be great to have a lot of help, so we can take shifts and everyone will get a chance to enjoy the day. Please email usyour availability so we can plan ahead.

Also, Maggie Flanagan, Port Captain for the event, needs volunteer dockhands on Governors Island to help with the many ships that will be involved in the event.

If you’ve made it this far, you can see we all have a lot on our plates! We need YOU to pitch in any way you can.

Don’t forget that you can download petition pageshere and pass them around your office or your neighborhood. We also now have an online petition that you can sign and share with your friends who are too far away to sign our paper petitions.

Have a great weekend!
