Brilliant sunshine brought out dozens of volunteers for the 10th annual Earth Day Cleanup event hosted by Levittown Community Council and Town of Hempstead.
Four major locations were selected to be cleaned. They included East Village Green Park, Wantagh Avenue from Entry Lane to Red Maple Drive South, North Wantagh Avenue at Universe Drive and the garden at Jerusalem Avenue and Meridien Road, which was developed and is maintained by the Council at the East Village Green Park and Pool.
Participants met in the Office Max parking lot on Hempstead Turnpike and Gardiners Avenue and were assigned locations to clean by Council board members Pat Patane, Tom Kohlman, Ginny Isola, Mary Kay Ross, Louise and Mauro Cassano, members Don Patane and Michelle Simonetti and friend of the Community Council, Cynthia De La Concha.
Kohlman, a Wantagh resident, chaired the Earth Day Cleanup Committee. The Town of Hempstead and Levittown School District provided equipment, trash bags, gloves and safety vests.
