Annual Volunteer BBQ & Cleanup

Each July, we gather to thank you, our incredible volunteers, with a barbecue picnic. We invite you to join us at Blue Rock Springs Park on Saturday, July 18. We start at 9 a.m. with an easy cleanup around the lake and park, if you want, and have an early lunch to thank you for dedicating yourself to making Vallejo a cleaner and safer place.

If you can’t make it to the cleanup, you’re still welcome for lunch at 11:00, we’d love to see you. Please RSVP to Info@VallejoWatershedAlliance.org or 707.652.7812 to let us know you are coming, so we can be sure to have enough food for all.

As always, please remember to wear closed-toe shoes, comfortable clothes, hat, sunscreen, and gloves if you are joining the cleanup. We’ll bring all the necessary supplies and refreshments. Email Info@VallejoWatershedAlliance.org with any questions.

We hope to see you there!
