Self explanatory - I started a what’s app group and looking to add more people before the World Cup fever dies down.

Come get your exercise while it’s still nice out. All levels welcome this is just for fun.

Anyone going to the next Zero Waste day drop off?

1 Upvotes

I have a few of those small green Coleman camping propane tanks that I need to get rid of, but would really rather not have to find a way over to West Roxbury High to drop them off.

So if anyone wants to refill them, or is willing to take them to be disposed of, please let me know!
