Beautify Brewster Day
It’s our 13th year and as always, we need your help to continue the tradition of uniting our Town Departments, staff, and community to honor Earth Day as we prepare for Brewster in Bloom. You are receiving this e-mail because of your participation in the past and we would like to invite you to join us once again as a Team Captain.
At this time, we plan to use basically the same routes, but that could change based upon the level of volunteerism. Start times can vary but should not start before 8 AM. The event is finished when all of your team members finish their routes and turn in their supplies. “Just in case” a rain date has been scheduled for the next day (Sunday, April 27th).
Thanks to the generosity of many local businesses, we can once again offer a free volunteer appreciation lunch starting at 12:30 at the Brewster Baptist Church. We’re confident that there will be plenty for everyone.
Please confirm your willingness to participate in Beautify Brewster 2025. As a Team Captain, we are asking you to recruit and organize volunteers for your route with the option of adding additional people as they contact the DNR office or Meg directly. If you’re willing to Captain and round up your team, but unable to attend, please name an alternate that could replace you on the day of the cleanup.
Like last year, the State is requiring that anyone on the Route 6A cleanup routes must follow an additional procedure (it isn’t hard, just different and we’ll share that with those specific team Captains).
We anticipate this year to be at least as big as last year. While it’s important to clean up our roads, it’s also important to provide data to larger non-profits who are fighting the same scourge as we are, i.e., litter! We’re in the process of tightening up the data collection forms. We encourage you again to assign a data collector to every two pickers. Perhaps the data collector is someone who can’t bend and stoop, but they can walk, and they want to participate!
We look forward to working with you to make it another success. Thank you for your continued support to keeping Brewster clean.
