A River Runs Through It

The Connecticut River is such an important part of Middletown and its history, but you'd hardly know it by how hard we've made it to get to, and enjoy the river.

Saturday morning May 30, a clean-up of the North End of Harbor Park will be hosted by the Jonah Center, with help and partnership of the Lion's Club and crews from The Connection's AIC (Judicial Branch Community Service Work Crews).

It's an effort to make the beautiful North end of the park more accessible and less threatening.

Work begins at 8 AM, and free coffee and donuts will be provided by Lady Catherine cruises.

Volunteers should wear long pants and shirts with long sleeves and gloves. Note that there is poison ivy in the area, so people who are highly allergic should not participate in this work day. Since we will be cutting, trimming and raking, volunteers are asked to bring clippers (short and long handled), small saws (hand, bow or sling) and rakes. (Make sure to mark your tools.)

A box lunch will be served at 12:00 noon for those who registered before May 26.
