Go Green! Greenpoint Festival: THANK YOU!
Go Green! Greenpoint Festival 2015 was simply amazing! A huge THANK YOU to our Town Square board, volunteers, and staffers. A grateful shout out to our Go Green sponsors, partners, exhibitors, vendors, schools, speakers, judges, artists, and everyone who came out last Sunday. Congratulations to PS 31 and MS 50 who won the School Sustainability Challenge in the Elementary and Middle School sections, respectively. Thanks to Senator Dan Squadron, Assemblyman Joe Lentol, Councilman Stephen Levin and D14 Superintedent Alicja Winnicki who came by. We had a marvelous time and look forward to continuing the green dialogue!
