Here is a post from Nuala copied from JH Families. Its so important to support our community and this group covers so much territory in the neighborhood with very little funding. Let's change that by becoming a member today- $25, and send a bit more if you can afford it. If the links don't connect go to
www.jhbg.org and click on "membership".
To the Jackson Heights Community,
I want to ask each of you to join the Jackson Heights Beautification Group (JHBG). Membership is just $25 a year for which we will mail you our informative quarterly newsletter and you will be supporting your neighbors. Become a member by clicking here.
I am sure you have seen my posts in the past about JHBG activities, but in this new era of uncertainty, I believe community is more important than ever. What is community when you live in NYC? I believe it is giving back to your neighbors and neighborhood which is exactly what JHBG does.
JHBG takes care of green spaces and street trees;
we produce the annual Holiday Tree lighting (on Saturday, December 10th at 4 PM this year);
we host the JH Orchestra (playing next on December 14th);
we educate parents about our local public schools (kindergarten forum on December 8th and PreK and K forum January 7th);
we run the annual Historic Weekend tours every June;
we host Summer Sunday concerts in Travers Park in July and August;
we are the JH dog run on 69th Street;
we run the composting center on 69th Street;
we host the JH Halloween Parade;
we remove graffiti;
we host an annual children's art competition in the Spring;
we respond to community concerns by hosting forums; and
most of all we support people who want to improve Jackson Heights!
We do this as an all-volunteer organization and your contribution is 100% tax deductible as we are registered as a 501(c)3 organization. To succeed we need members like you from around JH to join us in our efforts. Take a moment on this giving Tuesday to join us in making JH all it can be. Please contact me if you would like to volunteer. If you want to make a donation, just click on the link below or see the address to send a check.
