NYC CMs Stephen Levin and Antonio Reynoso have set aside a total of $2.5 MM for District 33 and District 34 projects, respectively - hey! that's us! Greenpoint & Williamsburg (and certain other parts of Brooklyn and Queens). WE get to choose how to spend this $$!  Folks, it's soooo easy: the projects with the most votes, will get the $$.  

GO ONLINE TO VOTE ( https://pbnyc2019.d21.me/) OR VISIT A VOTING SITE.   By the way, Town Square found Chrome to be frustratingly glitchy while Explorer worked just fine. 

Town Square supports all school projects for they are an investment in our future. Specifically, Town Square urges you to vote for D33 PROJECT  #6) $250K for a Renovated Library in I.S. 318 in East Williamsburg.  Why? This is the only D14 Middle School project on the ballot.  IS 318 is not only the largest middle school in North Brooklyn, serving +1200 students but also, over 70% of their students come from families below the poverty line.  Please help them with your vote!

8th Annual Spring Egg Hunt
Saturday, April 20th, 11 AM - 3 PM
FourFiveSix, 199 Richardson Street (Humboldt corner), Williamsburg, Brooklyn

It's almost April and our annual Spring Egg Hunt will be here before you know it!  We'll be back at FourFiveSix in Williamsburg, a fun lounge with comfy couches and gorgeous backyard. Simply perfect!

As with past years, we'll have thousands and thousands of eggs. The hunts will be run in groups of 15-20 kids, and everyone will have fun! You'll get to meet the Easter Bunny, enjoy eggstacular craft activities with The Art Table Studio and faces painted by talented Chico Mitsui of Hello Face Painting NYC. You'll also rock with Annie's Music for Kids (11 AM & 2 PM) and AudraRox (12N & 1 PM). You can have beautiful professional Spring Portraits taken by Sunrise, a wonderful and talented local photographer. Wear your colorful bonnets and join us to welcome Spring!

   Buy your egg hunt tickets quickly! Tickets sold out last year. $15 tickets, with special mommy and daddy tickets for $5. Face painting, Spring portraits and cash bar are extra. The Spring Egg Hunt is a delightful community effort to help two local Boy Scout units: Greenpoint Cub Scout Pack 7 and Williamsburg Boy Scout Troop 26. Wonderful, right?

P.S. If you're looking for a great brunch spot before or after your egg hunt, check out Ringolevio right next door. A Mediterranean gem to die for. Psst...limited seating.
