Spring Cleaning with Greencycle Swap 
Saturday, April 13th, 12-3 PM
Leonard Library, 81 Devoe Street, Williamsburg, Brooklyn

Is it time for spring cleaning? Do you have gently used items taking up closet space? Bring everything over to Greencycle Spring Cleaning Swap at the Leonard Public Library!
 

• Bring some! Or take some!  Or both!!
• 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 2 PM. Cleaned, gently used and working items please. No need to bring anything to take items. Out of consideration for others, we may limit folks to the 1 bag or the number of bags that you've brought to donate to the swap. We do not allow taking donated items to resell. Why? Because all remaining items are donated to local homeless shelters for neighbors truly in need.

We're delighted to partner with Home Life Services which runs five shelters in Brooklyn and Bronx, including one here in Greenpoint. Toys, books and children's clothing will be earmarked for their Albemarle Family Residence in East Flatbush; this shelter houses +180 children, ages 5 through 18! Please help these children and families while benefiting our environment.

$10 suggested donation a family 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@townsquarebk.org.  We couldn't do this without you and our partners: CM Stephen Levin, CM Antonio Reynoso, NYC DYCD, Just Sharin', truly awesome Boy Scouts of Brooklyn Troop 26, Brooklyn Tech H.S. H.O.P.E., Brooklyn Public Library, Friends of Leonard Library, Friends of Greenpoint Library and Home Life Services. A huge THANK YOU!

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

It's April and our annual Spring Egg Hunt is in just a few weeks!  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.
