Friends,

The Discover Downtown Johnstown Partnership in cooperation with the City of Johnstown will be holding the third annual Johnstown Downtown Proud Day on Sunday, May 17, 2009 from 11:00AM to 4:00PM.

To make our project an enormous success we are calling on all downtown Johnstown Businesses, Employees, Property Owners and Church Congregations to participate in this day of cleanup and renewal of Historic Downtown Johnstown.

I would like to personally invite to take part in this Day. If you would like to work just around your business, property or church that would be greatly welcomed. If you would like to be part of a larger group that will work along downtown streets during the day, we will be meeting in Central Park around 11:00 that Sunday Morning. Come for an hour or stay all day. If you can, please bring a broom, blower or rake and some gloves. A picnic for volunteers is planned afterward in Central Park.

We will be looking to complete 4 general tasks throughout downtown:

  • Sweeping and clearing debris off of the sidewalks.
  • Picking up any trash that is readily accessible.
  • Spraying weeds along the sidewalks and in alleys.
  • Planting flowers, bushes and trees in appropriate areas downtown.

Completing these tasks will go a long way in improving the aesthetics of the downtown.

Please feel free to contact me directly at jtownmark@hotmail.com for more information or to let us know you will be helping out. Attached is a flyer that can be displayed in your business, property of church. Thank you in advance for your efforts.
