> The CCG Steering Committee would like to invite you to participate in the

> the local police precincts, firehouses and EMT centers in the neighborhood. 
> It will be taking place on Saturday, 9/24 from 3:00pm until dusk. Rain date

A number of the firemen who will be attending, including the Captain of 
Engine 54 (a block away from the Clinton Community Garden, a house that lost a 
dozen men on 9/11) helped clean up and reorganize fire stations and service in New 
Orleans. A returned favor for the firemen who came up to NYC to cook gumbo, 
stand watch, and help us bind wounds along with so many from all over the US & 
Canada. 

We'll be thanking them for helping, and remembering the folks who help and 
helped us.
