South Street Seaport Petition Drive

New York City area residents What is your weekend looking like? We spent last weekend collecting names on our petition to secure the future of the South Street Seaport Museum (500 new signatures!) and we're planning to do it again this weekend. We could use your help... Saturday: We will meet up at 10:30am in front of the model shop/work barge by Pier 15, then fan out to Piers 16 and 17 with our clipboards. If we have enough help, we might get ambitious and hit the Governor's Island Ferry line as well. Sunday: We will have tables at both of the local outdoor markets - the Market Stalls on the west side of South Street, just north of Fulton, and the New Amsterdam Market on the east side of South Street one block further north. We will meet at both locations at 10:45am. If you can lend a hand, even for a few hours, please do. Drop us a line at saveourseaport@gmail.com or leave a message at (347)6-PIER16. If you need to play it by ear, just come on down. On to next week: Our next Save Our Seaport Meeting will be Thursday June 16th at a location to be announced (soon!). The following week: The Community Board 1 Seaport/Civic Center Committee with meet on Tuesday June 21st, 6:00pm, at the Southbridge Towers Community Room, 90 Beekman Street. Seaport Museum Board Chairman Frank Sciame is expected to attend and answer questions. We need to have a massive showing. Let's overflow the room with interested parties! One more thing...
