DC Area Military Service Members to Converge on Shepherd Parkway for Earth Day

Shepard Parkway Cleanup

1200-1600 on April 22^nd

 

You are invited to attend a park cleanup at Shepherd Parkway. The park is part of the Civil War Defenses of DC and you can still see the earthwork remains of Fort Greble and Fort Carroll.

Meet at 1200 at the P6 garage entrance (by LL5) to be picked up by GV. If driving or walking (1.1mi) to the site, meet at the intersection of Parkland Place and MLK Drive SE. Uniform for the event is ODUs for Active Duty and long pants/work boots for civilians.  Gloves and water will be provided. A GV will be arranged to arrive back at HQ before 1600 for those needing to make a carpool.

Please RSVP to LT Keith Blevins to ensure there will be enough seats in the GVs.  Keith.a.blevins@uscg.mil  -  202-372-2324
