Remember the nursery rhyme Rain, Rain, Go Away...? Yeah, we're singing that right now! The Norristown project as well as the municipality will host an Earth Day Cleanup Blitz on Tuesday and guess what day of the week it's suppose to rain? Early weather reports are calling for a 70% chance of rain in the afternoon which may scare some volunteers away. But we're here to say we won't let Mother Nature keep us inside when we're just trying to clean her up!
As of now, tomorrow's Earth Day cleanup will go on as planned. I can't speak for the municipality but I am assuming they are playing by ear as well, they have a painting project that may wash away so be sure to follow them on Facebook for any updates for their project.
The maps on NOAA (better than Weather Channel) are showing a shower arriving later in the afternoon. Our project falls right in the middle of that since we will start at 10am and go until 1pm. If the rain doesn't arrive earlier, we will go ahead and continue the cleanup project until the start of rain. We have done this approach before and it has been successful. I always tell volunteers, any work is better than no work. TNP always has a goal of the amount of ground we would like to cover. The only time we haven't met our goal is because of the threat of rain, however, volunteers and the community were still pleased at the outcome.
Whether the rain allows us to clean one block or ten, we will be doing our part at keeping Norristown beautiful and doing our part on Earth Day. So we will have our cleanup as planned and try to accomplish as much as possible. Any work that can not be completed will be added to a future cleanup.
Montgomery County OIC and The Norristown Project looks forward to seeing you tomorrow as we continue to clean up Norristown. If it rains earlier than 10am, give us a call at 610-279-9700 for any updates. If the event is completely rained out, we will set a rescheduled date and cover the same area. There may be a possibility for later in the evening on Saturday so stay tuned.
