Go Green! Festival 2016 also celebrates the launch of Town Square’s newest initiative, Go Green Brooklyn Hub,* a new online destination for local environmental news, events and opportunities. Its mission is to increase participation in environmental programs and make our communities better places to live.   Please share GoGreenbk.org with everyone you know who lives in Greenpoint and Williamsburg and be sure to have them sign up for local eco news here. 

By sharing interesting content — local heroes’ stories, events and concrete ways for citizens to get involved in North Brooklyn’s myriad of green organizations — Go Green Brooklyn will support green advocates, galvanize all residents and bring neighbors together to benefit the community.

Sign up for our Go Green BK Hub newsletter here. If you sign up before the end of this coming Friday, you’ll be entered in our raffle for the chance to win $100 to Brooklyn Kitchen and $25 to Dusty Rose! You can join our Hub Facebook community group page and follow the Hub on Twitter and Instagram.

* This project is made possible with funding provided by the Office of the New York State Attorney General and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation through the Greenpoint Community Environmental Fund.

You can still sign up for the awesome Greenpoint Chess Summer Camp. 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.

For those of us who don't avidly follow chess happenings, the IS 318 took 3rd place in the National Middle School Chess Championships 2016 in Indianapolis and 2nd place in the National Girls Chess Championships 2016 in Chicago.  PS 31 also won team trophies: 22nd and 17th in the u900 and u800, respectively. So very proud!
