This Slopes clean up will include Magistrate Ricciardi’s community Service workers. We need you to help steward and guide them. Lately we have had a lower number of adult Slopes volunteers and are at risk for losing the help. We need you to come out and help us to demonstrate our commitment to the neighborhood. Meet at 9:00 at the 18th and Carson Street Parking Lot
Volunteer meeting for StepTrek at 7:00pm at 126 Pius Street. Pick up your tee shirt and let us know what you can do.Â
We need to walk both Trek routes and make sure that the weeds are cut back and that the neighborhood sparkles.

We will have a StepTrek tee shirt for you – hot off the press. 9am at 21st & Josephine streets. Garden weeding at Greeley, also.

On August 6, 2008, the garden and metal art installation at the corner of Monastery & Brosville Sts. was dedicated and lit up. The backlit Core ten steel scrim design features a cross section of the Slopes map. Peter Kreuthmeier based the scrim on a cross section of the Slopes map. To the left of center, the large cut out represents St. Paul of the Cross Monastery. Thanks, Klavon Design Associates who designed the garden.
Come Join us Saturday 7/26 at 9:00 AM at the parking lot at 18th and Carson for a Slopes Cleanup.  Teams will disperse into the slopes from there. Trash bags and gloves will be provided.
