Saturday, April 20th, 11 AM, 12 Noon, 1 PM & 2 PM 
FourFiveSix, 199 Richardson Street (Humboldt corner), Williamsburg, Brooklyn

 

Town Square’s annual Spring Egg Hunt is tomorrow, RAIN OR SHINE!  Please wear your rain gear because the weather is calling for April showers and most activities will still take place outside.  Also, you may want to leave your strollers at home for space is limited and strollers will stay parked outside on the sidewalks. 

As with past years, the hunts will run outdoors 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 Parent Focus, and rock out with Annie's Music for Kids (11 AM & 2 PM) and AudraRox (12N & 1 PM).  You can also get your faces painted by talented Chico Mitsui of  Hello Face Painting NYC and take beautiful professional Spring Portraits by Sunrise, a wonderful local photographer. Wear your colorful rain jackets and bonnets! Join us to welcome Spring!

Buy your egg hunt tickets quickly! 11 AM & 12 Noon tickets are SOLD OUT!  1 PM & 2 PM are almost gone too.  By the way, please note that everyone (kids, babies, parents, other adults) must have a ticket.  $15 online ($20 at the door), 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.

HELP REPLACE MISSING PERSONAL ITEMS FROM LAST WEEK'S GREENCYCLE SWAP.

17 Friends and Neighbors have donated $327 so far. Thank you! We're trying to get to $1,400 and this is an amazing start!  

PLEASE CONTINUE TO HELP THESE SELFLESS HIGH SCHOOL & MIDDLE SCHOOL CHILDREN!

Kindhearted teenagers and preteens volunteered their time at our Greencycle Swap last Saturday to help our community and local homeless shelters. Unfortunately, seven coats, a bag, a purse, a phone, an AirPod, Metrocards, etc (listed below) went missing from behind our sign-in table. These students largely come from families in need, and are devastated. 

Since last Sunday, we have appealed to our community through a newsletter, flyers and social media, reaching +25K people in hopes that this was an honest mistake and someone would return these items. Sadly, no. Friends and neighbors, many of you suggested that we start a donation campaign.  We took you up on this yesterday afternoon to try to raise $1,400 and replace these missing items. Please give whatever you can. Town Square is a non-profit organization and your donation will be tax deductible.  Please help these kids, who spent their entire Saturday helping us and our community. 

If you cannot click on the donate-button below, here's the donation url:  http://bit.ly/2vllbmt.  We'll provide frequent updates through our website,  FB and other social media. 

6) A grey hooded puffer ajcket with yellow inner lining, youth-large (14-16)

7) A green and black hooded bomber jacket, youth-large (14-16)

8) A dusty pink Tommy Hilfiger bag. It is mostly dusty pink and the top part of the bag is brown. The shoulder strap is also brown. In the center, there is a silver Tommy Hilfiger symbol. Inside the bag was a small water bottle, $20, a small mirror, eyebrow gel, and Burt’s Bees chapstick.

Please!  If you thought you "scored" any of these items by mistake, please contact us so that we can return them to their rightful owners. (hello@townsquarebk.org)

 Our tiny non-profit does all this because we love it, and because these programs enrich the lives of our neighbors and community.  But we can only do what we do with your support.  We are writing to ask you to kindly make a donation of any amount to Town Square. All donations are tax-deductible. No amount is too small (or too big)!  We gratefully thank you in advance.
