Are you feeling the holiday spirit?  Do you have gently used items taking up space? Bring everything over to the Greencycle Holiday Swap tomorrow at the Greenpoint Public Library.

Bring some! Or take some!
One man's trash is another man's treasure.
Let's recycle, reuse and reduce!

MEN’S, WOMEN’S & CHILDREN’S CLOTHING, SHOES, BOOKS, TOYS, BICYCLES, PHONES, HOUSEHOLD ITEMS & ELECTRONICS. We will accept electronics until 3 PM.  Cleaned, gently used and working items please.  No need to bring anything to take items. However, out of consideration for others, we may limit folks to the greater of 1 bag or the number of bags that you have brought to donate to the swap. 

We are thrilled to announce a partnership with Home Life Services.  All remaining swap items will be donated to The Clay Family Residence, a local shelter at 66 Clay Street and four other Home Life shelters in Brooklyn and Bronx with over 500 children.  In particular, toys, books and children's clothing will be earmarked for the Albemarle Family Residence in East Flatbush; this shelter was designed by NYC as the best shelter last year, based on perfect school attendance by their 184 children, ages 5 through 18! Please help these children and families while benefiting our environment. 

$5 suggested donation to help cover costs. Town Square is a qualified 501(c)(3) not-for-profit institution. Your donation will be TAX DEDUCTIBLE to the full extent of the law. For more info, please contact Town Square at 347.559.1410 or greencycle@townsquareinc.com. We gratefully thank our partners and sponsors: CM Stephen Levin, CM Antonio Reynoso, NYC DYCD, truly awesome Brooklyn Boy Scouts Troop 26, Friends of Greenpoint Public Library, Greenpoint Public Library and Home Life Services.

It was a merry time last Saturday at Santa Brunch.  We'd like to give a huge THANK YOU to Boy Scout Troop 26 who prepared the yummy pancake brunch, t.b.d. Brooklyn for providing the space, Rebecca Black for donating her photography talent, St John Lutheran's Pastor Katrina Foster and local musician Danny Lugo for leading the sing along, student performers of IS 318's Beautiful Imperfection for their music performance, Anita's Yogurt for the vegan dishes, our volunteers and last but not least, Queen Elsa and Santa for joining us! 

Rebecca's photographs are avaiable for purchase on Eventbrite: http://santa-brunch-2015-photos.eventbrite.com. Please use the last name that you provided at brunch.  Happy Holidays!

Please join us!  We meet on the 3rd Tuesday of every month. With good food, drink and company, it's amazing what friends and neighbors can accomplish together.

Spaces at awesome Greenpoint Chess are available during upcoming school holidays over Winter Break 12/24-1/1. Matches, lessons, games like musical chess, playground time, pizza, ice-cream and more!   Click here for more info & to register. 

AMAZING FLEXIBILITY!  Sign up for a day or even half day! Great way to try it out.

Town Square received a Small GCEF Grant to create a Go Green Activity Hub for Greenpoint!  Our vision includes a Sustainability Map and infographic (please see below), generously designed by VICE.  This is an evolving work-in-process and we'll be looking to you for your input.
