Taking Back Woodhaven One Mailbox At A Time - Canceled

Update:  Thanks to Mike Miller and Dorie from Mike's office for showing up this morning.  Unfortunately, no one else was there and we had to cancel.  

As you drive through Woodhaven, you'll see that a lot of our mailboxes have been tagged by vandals.  These tags make our community look bad -- and leaving our postal boxes like that sends the message that we are tolerant of crime.  That we are weak.  

 

This weekend, we start sending a new message by taking back our neighborhood from the graffiti vandals, one mailbox at a time. 

Assemblyman Mike Miller has procured some of the Blue and Green Paint (in spray cans) from the Post Office, the same exact color as the mailboxes.  This Saturday morning (9/18), we are going to meet at the office of the WRBA (84-20 Jamaica Avenue) and go out in small teams to clean up the tagged mailboxes in Woodhaven.  

It doesn't take long to spray over a tag, so it should be a relatively quick process.  We'll need volunteers to do the spraying -- some teams may travel through the neighborhood by car (so if you can volunteer to drive, great) and some teams may prefer to walk about.  If you have a digital camera and can take before and after pictures, that would be a bonus!

We will be at the office around 10:30 on Saturday morning -- and we are hoping to get started around 11 (wear old clothing).  Please RSVP and join us -- it should only take a couple of hours -- feel free to e-mail us with any questions.  And if you can't join us Saturday, but you know of a mailbox that's been tagged -- please send us the location before Saturday morning -- info@woodhaven-nyc.org 

Thank you -- hope to see you on Saturday!
