<div dir="ltr"><div>Please come out this Saturday for Boston's first ever De-Paving Party (or at least the first one we've heard of)! We will be pulling up asphalt from two yards in this working-class, multi-ethnic neighborhood near Stop and Stop in the Hyde Square/Jackson Square area. From
parking lots to paradise, we will help the Gay Head Green Block neighbors make
their block more resilient in the face of climate change. Make room for gardens, trees, and
recreation space. Help reduce urban heat island effect and storm water
flooding, and have fun too! <br><br>Saturday, July 13, 9am till 4pm<br>13 Gay Head Street, Jamaica Plain, MA 02130<p></p><p>We'll have lunch in a neighbor's yard,
so feel free to come hungry or bring a dish to share. Kids are welcome
to play in a neighbor's yard or if they're old enough to be safe, they
can work with a responsible adult partner.</p><p>Please RSVP so we know how many volunteers are coming:<br><a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Ktt6lY9SXzjrncyOtGusd4j93EvdLdG5UM_DanbnS4g/viewform">https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Ktt6lY9SXzjrncyOtGusd4j93EvdLdG5UM_DanbnS4g/viewform</a><br>
