Just before the Thanksgiving Weekend exodus, LANDMARK WEST! alerted all of our friends about an upcoming volunteer event to benefit West-Park Presbyterian Church. 

Today, we're emailing a very select group of people who know--more acutely than most--how much a revitalized West-Park means to the Upper West Side community: our friends residing on West 86th Street!


Please read the event announcement below and then mark your calendar to join us THIS SATURDAY, Decmeber 4th, from 10AM to 4PM, as we roll up our sleeves for West-Park.  Taking off the top layer of dust and dirt is the first step towards letting the true beauty of West-Park shine through!  JOIN US!

For more information, please write to treasurer@preservationalumni.org.


From our colleagues at Preservation Alumni:

Twice a year, members of Preservation Alumni, the Columbia University Historic Preservation Masters Program's alumni association, lend a helping hand to special places in the NYC vicinity as part of volunteer work days.

For this year's Fall Work Day, volunteers will be rolling up their sleeves in service of a historic site in need on the Upper West Side. Now, the preservation community which rallied for its
protection has the opportunity to demonstrate its sustaining commitment to West-Park Presbyterian Church.

        WHO:  Members of Preservation Alumni, congregants of West-Park
                          Presbyterian Church, members of Friends of West-Park, and anyone
                          who wants to be a part of the Church's revitalization is welcome!


      WHEN:   Saturday, December 4th
                           10:00am-4:00pm
                           (whether it's one hour or six hours, any amount of time you can give
                           is greatly appreciated!)


    WHERE:  West-Park Presbyterian Church
                          165 West 86th St @ Amsterdam Ave

       WHAT:  Pick up a rag, push a broom, wrangle a shop vac.
                           Help give the interior of this amazing structure a good
cleaning.
