Saturday, June 16, is Roosevelt Island Day. According to the Roosevelt Island Operating Corp (RIOC)

Roosevelt Island Day is this Saturday, June 16th. Come out and continue the tradition of celebrating Roosevelt Island in fine fashion! Starting at 9 AM, Good Shepherd Plaza will be full of volunteers, activities, entertainment, games and so much more! Look out for the petting zoo from 10 AM - 12 PM at the lawn south of Rivercross as well!

Don't forget to become a volunteer to get your free Roosevelt Island Day t-shirt! Go to http://signup.com/go/opyuzLp to sign up or check in at the RI Garden Club or Clean-up Crew tables between 9 AM - 12 PM this Saturday.

We are also very excited to welcome The Funktion- a funk, soul cover band- to bring the party to the Plaza from 6 PM - 8 PM.

Don’t miss out on a day full of fun!
