Is your Garden an Earth Day Worksite? Sign up now!!

I justed wanted to remind you about Columbus' city-wide Earth Day: Lighten Up! two-part event. The Green Columbus web designer elves have been hard at work and the 2011 website looks great! It is ready for your work-site registration! In addtion, volunteer registration to participate at a registered worksite and/or the Celebration at Franklin Park will be open on Tuesday March 15th! We are looking forward to some great achievements this year! Thanks for pitching in to make it a success! If there is someone else we should contact instead of you, or someone you think would want to get involved, please provide the contact information (name / e-mail address), or forward this email. If this email, or one similar to it has already been sent to you, I apologize for any repetition.
Here is the link:

If you already registered your worksite (non-profit, business, school, place of worship, area in your neighborhood, park, etc) last year, you can use your 2010 login info. If you've forgotten your password all you need is your email address and to click the Forgot Password link.

If you are new to the Earth Day Worksite Weekend event, or need to re-register here's how to register your worksite:
· Choose the ‘Get Involved’ button at the top of the page
· Choose the ‘Register a Service Project’ link (after the ‘Volunteer’ link)
· Choose the ‘Log in’ link (using username from last year) or the ‘register’ link (to create a new account). There is a ‘Forgot Password’ link if you know the username but forget the password.
· Once logged in, choose ‘Create Worksite’.

Let me know if you run into any issues with this process. Again, individuals will be able to sign up to volunteer starting March 15 until April 15th at midnight.
There will be 3 Worksite Leader Rally sessions to get everyone the information and supplies they need prior to the worksite events! More information on this to come, but the dates and locations are:
Saturday, April 2 at 2pm (only for projects NOT involved in litter abatement) at Eartha Limited
Monday, April 11 at noon at Whetstone Park (for any type of project)
Wednesday, April 13 from 5pm to 6:30pm at Keep Columbus Beautiful (for litter abatement projects)

I know there are still some outstanding questions about availability of trees, supplies, etc. We are working hard to get all the details worked out and get those answers to you. Feel free to send your questions to me or Erin, if you haven’t already heard back from us.
