Please join us to help spruce up the parks along the Mystic River shoreline. We will provide gloves, equipment, and light refreshments. You bring your enthusiasm and energy.

The long range forecast is for beautiful weather on Saturday - and what better way to enjoy the outdoors than a community cleanup project! Just in case the forecast is wrong, our rain date is Sunday Oct. 2nd from noon to 3:30 pm. Call and check the voice message at 781-316-3438 if you are unsure about the plans.

Those looking for a close-up view of the Orange Line T-stop location and the transit that currently goes through the Assembly Square area of Somerville might want to add a little exercise for a very good local cause this weekend - the annual Mystic River clean-up led by MyRWA. The only donation required is a little time and energy. See forwarded message below. Yard 21 behind Good Time Billiards and Central Steel is the proposed Orange Line T-stop location.
