Ridgewood Project Pride Day – May 17
Ridgewood’s Project Pride Day
Saturday, May 17th, 9:30 a.m.
All Ridgewood residents, church groups, local social service agencies, students, scouts, and those with or without green thumbs, are invited to join the leaders of Project Pride in a community effort to beautify our Village. Volunteers are to meet on Saturday, May 17th, at 9:30 a.m. near the Clock Tower (corner of Oak Street and Ridgewood Avenue).
Located throughout the Central Business District of Ridgewood are many large containers that are filled with blooming flowers and foliage which line East and West Ridgewood Avenue and the side streets of Oak, Walnut, Chestnut, Broad and Franklin Avenue. This beautification project is accomplished with the assistance of volunteers each year, and the enhancement of our local parks, business district and downtown brings about a true sense of community and pride. This community building effort also provides ownership, accountability and respect.
The Project Pride Committee is responsible for the summertime floral hanging baskets, the winter’s illuminated kissing balls, presentation of the HomeScape Awards, and maintenance of local pocket parks and seasonal garden plantings.
If interested in obtaining Project Pride membership, or to obtain further information, please contact the Recreation Office at 201-670-5560 weekdays between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.
