DOVER —The volunteers at Dover Main Street, along with Dover Community Services and event underwriter Centrix Bank are busy planning another project-filled day to get downtown Dover in shape for our residents and summer visitors. This year’s date is Saturday, April 28.
Last year, over 300 bright, sunny, energetic volunteers raked, pruned, swept, mulched, weeded, painted and planted their way through 12 sites in the downtown area. Their efforts helped make the downtown area green and beautiful throughout the spring and summer. As always, community volunteers are the key to the success of the projects, so whether you can spend just an hour or come for the morning, email director@dovermainstreet.org to sign up.
The April 28 event will be the 13th year of Dover Pride / Downtown Clean-Up Day and as usual, Dover Kiwanis Club members will be dishing up a hearty pancake breakfast for the volunteers in the Cocheco Mills Courtyard on Central Avenue staring at 8am. From there, volunteers will be assigned to a work site for the morning. It is recommended that volunteers wear loose comfortable clothing. Extra rakes, shovels, and wheelbarrows are always welcomed, but they should have the owners name on them. If you have a special green thumb or landscaping experience, we are also always in need of project supervisors.
A special award, “The Golden Pitchfork”, will be bestowed upon the organization or business team that shows the most spirit that day. Last year’s winners were from the Dover Police department.
The day will wind up at 11:30am with a pizza lunch in the Cocheco Mills Courtyard provided by Kendall Pond Pizza. Other generous supporters include Wentworth Greenhouses, Rebel Chef Café, Seacoast Coca-Cola and Reverie Designs. Don’t forget that Dover Pride/Downtown Clean-Up Day is a rain or shine event.
Dover Main Street is a not for profit downtown revitalization organization which operates under the auspices of the National Main Street Center, a program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The Dover Main Street mission is to preserve the past, promote the present, and facilitate the future. Dover is celebrating its 12th year as a fully accredited National Main Street Program.
Volunteers are always welcome and needed to assist in planning and completing projects. To find out more information, to sign up as a volunteer, or to donate to the Dover Main Street Program, contact the office at 740-6435 or email director@dovermainstreet.org. (Courtesy logo)
