National Service Project on the Mall
Thank you for your interest in signing up for the National Service Project on the Washington DC National Mall. The date is September 22.
We are at CAPACITY for this event.
As the days grow closer, the National Park Service will be confirming the exact meeting location and a list of projects. We certainly want to match up skill sets with the projects to make the day a perfect match. The items below are the best draft at this time.
For each Youth and Adult, a special Council Shoulder patch is being secured to thank you for your dedication to this project, benefiting our National Mall. You must be registered to receive this special patch.
Projects on the list today include:
- Painting posts and chains
- Painting park benches
- Landscaping work, Debris removal.

Getting There:
Please consider taking the Metro system down to the Smithsonian Station - National Mall side to prevent having to find parking in the area. However, it is always your choice and weekend Metros can be interesting.
Many Hands Make Light Work:
Thank you again! If you have additional folks that wish to participate, please share the link to get registered.
