The Chinatown cleanup will be on Sunday, August 15th, in the New York Chinese Community Center (62 Mott Street, New York, NY)

This year’s theme is “Our Town, Our Time, Our Campaign”. Town is Chinatown. Time means our generation, the youth of today. Our campaign is not just an environmental one; it also represents our initiative to become a leader and contribute to our community.

DESIGN: We need a T-Shirt for each of our participants, so that we can show our spirit and determination. If you are a creative person, we would love to receive designs from you. ou may use various shirt design website or drawing software. You can also draw it by hand. You may click here to view last year’s design. Please submit your design to cbd@cyinyc.org by July 12th. Here are a few things to remember:

 

 

  • -          the design should have something that represents our organization (i.e. CYI)

  • -          please use lighter color for the shirt, considering the possible warm temperature of the cleanup day
  • -          you only need to design the front of the shirt
  • -          make it funny, interesting, lovely, and appropriate
