Also on Saturday, from Noon to 2:00 PM, Queen City Pride continues its weekend cleanups -- this week at Netherwood Station (on the North Avenue side).SUNDAY: BLESSING OF ANIMALS AT CRESCENT CHURCH
Gloves, rakes and trash bags are supplied. All that is needed is willing hands.
The group reported on two excursions last weekend: One in conjunction with Councilor Barry Goode's "Clean The Queen" initiative in the 4th Ward, and a Sunday outing at Netherwood Station's South Avenue side.
According to group organizer Timothy Priano, cleanups are also planned for next weekend.
The group is also taking on the removal of those annoying signs you see posted on telephone poles soliciting used cars and offering to buy your house for cash. To report a location, send an email to queencitypride@gmail.com.
In an email with the subject line "Crescent Avenue Presbyterian Church is going to the dogs", Pastor Lynn Santulli advised of the church's blessing of the animals set for this Sunday (October 9) at the 10:30 AM service.
There will be gifts for attending pets and a special coffee hour with pet-friendly refreshments after the service.
A special offering will be taken up during the service to benefit the Plainfield Area Humane Society.
Please remember, cats and birds should be in cages, and dogs on a leash.
Crescent Avenue Presbyterian Church is at East 7th Street and Watchung Avenue. Parking in the church lot on First Place, on the street, or in the Swain Galleries lot.
