WRV will be participating in the Walnut Lane Bridge Rededication Ceremony on October 18, 2008. Stop by our table and talk to us about upcoming restoration projects in the Wissahickon!
More about the event:
Come out to the Walnut Lane Bridge on October 18th from 12:00pm to 2:00pm for the celebration of the centennial of the bridge opening in 1908. The bridge will be closed to traffic as local officials will dedicate the bridge as a historic landmark during a marker dedication ceremony. Plenty of food, music and tables from community organizations will provide entertainment for the whole family. The ceremony is a reenactment of the bridge's historic opening, and will conclude with local school students marching toward the center of the bridge singing "Hail Philadelphia."
Visit www.walnutlanebridge.org for further details or write to info@cliveden.org.
Join us on any 1st Saturday or 3rd Sunday of each month to take part in our on-going restoration activities. Project details and directions to the worksite will be posted. Sign up to receive email updates.
WRV will provide tools and gloves. Volunteers should bring their own water and dress appropriately (long-sleeved shirts, long pants, and sturdy shoes). Additional volunteer work days are available; please contact our Volunteer Coordinator, Susannah Beckett, for more information at (215) 951-0330 ext. 2175. Please RSVP to susannahb@rhd.org, so we can contact you in case we need to cancel due to severe weather.
See you there!
