Sports Community Beautification Day

noreply@blogger.com (IDVP Zultan) — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 07:35:00 +0000

In celebration of Earth Day and National Volunteer Month, we invite you to join the Philippine New York Jaycees in making a difference and contributing to our local community. On this day, we will help revitalize and beautify the Tony Dapolito Recreation Center and James J. Walker Park, located in Greenwich Village Manhattan. Activities include painting garbage cans, perimeter light poles, and sitting area walls. In addition, we will clean garden areas, dispose of old fencing and assist in putting up new fencing, and clean the storage shed. This will give the park a brighter look for the spring and summer season!

ABOUT TONY DAPOLITO CENTER & JAMES J. WALKER PARK:
The Tony Dapolito Community Center houses the second largest Parks Department Summer Camp, after-school and weekend programs for children and senior citizens as well as affordable access to recreation programs. James J. Walker Park has a colorful history and a central commitment to the neighborhood. Over the course of the past century, the park has evolved to serve the needs of its community, which has made the 1.67 acre park a place of solace for neighborhood families.

ADDRESS: 1 Clarkson Street New York, NY (in Greenwich Village)

REMINDERS:
* If you have a Jaycees blue or orange t-shirt, please wear it. If you don't have one, try your best to wear blue (for the Jaycees) or orange.
* Event will go on whether it be rain or shine! Don't forget to check the weather and make sure you dress appropriately.

This event is open and free to everyone and we hope that you can join us on this wonderful volunteer opportunity. Please feel free to contact Project Chair, Director Loren San Diego and/or CDVP Marie Christine Obra if you have any questions. Thank you and hope to see you all there! :)

Making Strides Against Breast Cancer

noreply@blogger.com (IDVP Zultan) — Sat, 01 Oct 2011 05:24:00 +0000

For the past several years JCI Philippine-New York strives to show our support and make a difference by walking as a team in the American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer event in Central Park, NYC.
Our chapter's primary purpose in participating in the walk is two-fold:

(1) To raise funds for Making Strides Against Breast Cancer; and
(2) To inspire members and non-members by encouraging them to participate in the event to support people who have Breast Cancer and those who are survivors.

Making Strides Against Breast Cancer is more than just the name of a walk; it describes the progress we're making together in the fight against breast cancer. Nothing can describe the hope that is inspired by walking with others who share a passion for ending this disease. Because nearly everyone has been touched by breast cancer in some way, hope for a world with less breast cancer and more birthdays starts with us.
