2010 EVENTS CALENDAR
Everyone is welcome at all JHBG events, and while we hope you consider becoming a member of the JHBG, it is not necessary to be a member to attend an event. Unless otherwise indicated, all events are free. If you want more information, of if you're interested in volunteering to help organize any of the JHBG events, or if you have ideas for additional community events, contact the JHBG: call (718-565-5344) or email (info@jhbg.org). Please keep in mind that the JHBG is an all-volunteer organization. We promise to reply, but it may take a few days.
Please take a moment to renew
your membership (or join). The JHBG is 100% volunteer; there is no paid
staff. Your support allows the JHBG to continue its efforts to make Jackson
Heights the best possible community. Just print out the Membership page,
fill it in, and mail it with your donation. Thanks!
From planting flowers and maintaining trees all along 37th Avenue...to
the huge kids' Halloween Parade...to the Clean Streets and Graffiti Busters
efforts...to the free concerts in Travers Park as well as all the other
work of the Friends of Travers Park committee...the JHBG volunteers continue
to make a difference in Jackson Heights.
There are listings of many other neighborhood happenings on the blog Jackson Heights Life.
Some of the best food in the neighborhood is available from the Sunday Greenmarket at Travers Park. Plus, don't miss Jackson Heights' very own Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) group, FarmSpot.
Jackson Heights Canine Recreation
and Exercise Wonderland (JH CREW), a committee of the JHBG, welcomes dog
owners to come check out the first dog run in Jackson Heights! After years
of hard work, our neighborhood has a wonderful new resource, located at
35th Avenue and 69th Street. More information is available at the
JH Crew website.
Don't miss the End of Summer Pizza Party on the 78th Street Play Street
on Saturday, August 28, from 2:00 to 5:00. Please note that after August
31 the 78th Street Play Street will be open only on Sundays (through October
31). Thanks to all who made this year such a success! Learn more and get
