  • Spring cleaning (and shopping) the green way

    It's spring — time to clean out closets and ready your wardrobe for warmer weather. Clothes swaps are the best way to do both and feel good about it. Here's a big one this weekend:

    Spring Clothing Swap and Book Drive: Swap-O-Rama-Rama Returns to Astoria

    Saturday, March 21, 11 a.m. - 2 p.m.

    A.R.R.O.W. Community Center, 35-30 35th Street in Astoria

    Directions: N/W to 36th Avenue or R to Steinway

    You bring clothes, other people bring clothes ... and then you swap. It's that easy. Remaining items will be donated to Hour Children thrift store.And it's also a book drive: Gently used or new books will be donated to the Queens Library. Local branch libraries will have first dibs.

    This event is sponsored by Triple R Events: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, the Astoria Book Club and the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation. RSVPs appreciated but not required: *queensisgreen@gmail.com* or call (646) 202-0825.
