Williamsburg Walks needs volunteers for its last event of the year

Volunteers needed for June 11th; this year's last Williamsburg Walks event.

The LAST event in the second annual Williamsburg Walks series is fast approaching! This Saturday, June 11th, is the last in a 6-week series of Bedford Ave. street closures known as Williamsburg Walks.

Williamsburg Walks is part of a growing city-wide movement of neighborhood street closures that are reinventing neighborhood public streets as pedestrian-friendly, community-oriented shared spaces. The series spanned a total of six Saturdays, beginning on June 6th, and is proving to be a great place for neighbors to mingle, picnic, and learn more about their neighborhood. This year, NAG and the L Magazine have teamed up to organize and sponsor the event.

This weekend's Williamsburg Walks is gearing up the be the biggest and best in the series! The event is dependent on a rotation of volunteers who are essential in making it a success. For this final event, we'll need as many volunteers as possible in order to put on an event worthy of our neighborhood. That's why we need YOU! Grab your friends or family and help out this Saturday! Water, snacks, and a free volunteer t-shirt will be provided to each volunteer. Volunteers can sign up for the Set-up shift from 11am-2pm, the Event shift from 2pm-6pm, or the Break-down shift from 7pm-9pm. For details or to sign up, please contact the Williamsburg Walks volunteer coordinator, Rima Shamieh, at karimeh.shamieh@gmail.com.

Even if you don;t volunteer, stop by Bedford Ave. this Saturday to celebrate with us!
