Thank you to everyone who participated in the BANA Annual Earth Day Cleanup on Saturday, April 25!

Thanks to our partners including the neighboring GE Realty Plot Neighborhood Association, Union College Community Engagement student volunteers, Price Chopper/Market 32 and the City of Schenectady, we were able to pick up and dispose of garbage in all three alleys (Center, East, and West alleys) and tackle some much-needed yard work on some of the islands, particularly at Parkwood and Rugby.

See our Facebook page for more photos! Stay tuned for additional neighborhood cleanups and events planned for September.
