Lawrenceville Main Street Fall Clean-Up Set For Sunday

Editor's Note: The following is a news release issued by .

Lawrenceville Main Street (LMS) invites volunteers to participate in our semi-annual “Village and Park Clean-up Day” on Sunday, Nov. 6, from 1 until 3 p.m.

There is no rain date.

The fall clean-up is a wonderful way for Lawrenceville residents and students to take pride in their community and enjoy a few hours of outdoor exercise with friends and neighbors. LMS looks forward to working with Lawrenceville School students who have signed up to help.

Volunteers will meet at , which is adjacent to the Post Office on Main Street (Route 206) in the village. Bring your rakes, gloves, wheel barrels, and tarps. There will be light refreshments.

The park is named in memory of Chuck Weeden, a Lawrenceville School teacher and coach whose vision was to create a lovely green area for local residents, students and shoppers. The school generously made the land available to the community and partners with LMS to maintain the park.

Over the years, the LMS Landscape Committee has made improvements to the park including plantings, pathways, lighting, signage, a gazebo, a picnic table, and benches. The park has become a community gathering place for seasonal events such as the LMS “Music in the Park” summer concert program and “Holidays in the Village.”

Lawrenceville Main Street is a volunteer-led organization dedicated to fostering a sense of community and continuing the revitalization of our historic downtown area by organizing events, building partnerships, cultivating the business environment, and enhancing the physical setting of the Village of Lawrenceville.

An official Main Street New Jersey community, LMS is accredited by the Main Street Center of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. For more information, call (609) 219-9300 or visit www.LawrencevilleMainStreet.com.
