The federal tax filing deadline is usually April 15th, but due to a weekend and a local holiday on Monday, April 17th, this year’s deadline is April 18th.  But Saturday, the 15th, this year has some meaning in Fishers.  There are several events tied to Keep Fishers Beautiful.

First, if you have items needing recycling, come to Billericay Park at 126th & Promise Road this Saturday, April 15th, 8am-1pm, to drop-off your items for recycling.  The gates close at 1pm sharp, so you may want to get there early.  Here is the guidance from the Fishers Parks and Recreation Department on what you can submit:

There will also be a neighborhood blitz, where such help is needed, with volunteers providing the help, at selected places in need.

Finally, Ritchey Woods will once again be in need to volunteers  to help spruce up the plant life.  That project is 9am-2pm.  Anyone can drop by and volunteer, rain or shine.  You can preregister as a volunteer to get all the paperwork done ahead of time.

To raise your hand to volunteer for any of these April 15th Keep Fishers Beautiful projects, register online at this link.  For more information, contact Dan Domsic via email at domsicd@fishers.in.us or by phone at (317) 595-3151.
