eUpdate - April 10, 2019

Lots of opportunities to work and play on Earth Day 2019!

Earth Day is Monday  April 22, with many events and activities planned for West County.

Most events will be held on Saturday April 20, with the exception of El Cerrito, which is holding its Earth Day work parties on April 13. See details below.
