Waiting
While some were hanging signs, others were sitting on the park bench.
Yep, we even put some in the park.
Some people walk their dogs in the park and forget it’s a place to play; not a place worry about stepping in dog poop.
No more Dog Poop!
They are so adamant and ready to clean up the streets from dog poop they begin to chant “No more Dog Poop!”
They had just finished putting a dog poop sign by the garden.

Making sure the sign is even.
Making sure the dog owner are capable or seeing and reading and….obeying the sign.
Keep Calm and Be Healthy
Saturday, October 19, 2013 the Mary Mitchell Family and Youth Center hosted a community health walk around the neighborhood and Crotona Park.
It started 9:30 in the morning, supplying the supporters with a light breakfast and ended at 12 noon with a delicious lunch.
Even though it was staged as a health walk, it was more than that. It was a community gathering and information session. Before we set out to walk, the director of the Mary Mitchell Family and Youth Center, Heidi Hynes, welcomed the sponsoring organizations that came to support the Mary Mitchell:
- Mothers on the Move
- University Neighborhood Housing Program
- the POINT
- Concourse House
- Mt. Hope Housing Co.
- Isis Community Circle
- Bronx Health Reach
- Northwest Bronx Community and Clergy Coalition
- Montefiore CATCH Program
- BLK Projek
- Fordham University Dorothy Day Center
- Groundswell
- La Familia Verde
- Green Worker Cooperatives
- DPHO
- TANIMA Dance
Together as a community we marched around the neighborhood chanting songs and holding signs promoting fair economy,physical activity, access to fresh food, school health, good housing, a clean environment and individual wellness.
