They learned that dog poop is bad, not because it stinks and it’s easy to step in but it also because it isn’t good for the trees and the plants.
While we were putting the sign up, they looked around for people walking their dogs.
They not only posted signs, but also talked with dog owners asking them to clean up after their dogs.
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.
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:
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.
The Tanima Dancers were there to entertain the crowd.
While waiting for the walk to get started, some of the young men started a game of basketball.
People from the community cheering those who are walking around the neighborhood….
