Community Paint Day
Volunteers are needed for a Community Paint Day at Fruitdale Park from 12pm-2pm on Saturday, September 14th. The group will be painting asphalt art at the intersection of W. 47th Ave and Miller Street and at three no parking areas adjacent to the crosswalk near Mountain Phoenix Community School. We will be using traffic paint, which is hard to remove from clothing, so if you are attending please wear "grungy" clothes that you wouldn't mind paint getting on. Paint, painting supplies, food, and drinks will all be provided. More information along with concept art for the no-parking areas are below. If you'd like to volunteer, please sign up here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/70A0C4EAAAB22A0F94-50426060-91424
