The annual neighborhood clean-up, Project Blitz, has been scheduled for May 12. So, mark your calendars now and set aside the time for Operation Brightside.
The Skinker-DeBaliviere neighborhood has been designated as Area A in Region 6; the area commanders are Father Polizzi of St. Roch’s Church and Sam Green.
Each area should have a block captain on every block.
This year’s Project Blitz has a new dimension to create enthusiasm for volunteers as they approach their Blitz Saturday. Cash prizes will be awarded in each region; $100 prize per category of: 1) Beautification/Planting and 2) Clean-up.
This prize money will be contributed by each region’s businesses.
The winners from each region will be eligible for the Grand Prize based on city-wide competition.
Two Grand Prizes will be $1,000 per category, generously donated by Anheuser-Busch Company.
Each group winning the Regional and/or Grand Prize must use the money for the betterment of their neighborhood. Prizes will be judged using “before” and “after” photographs of the target clean-up or beautification area.
Although the clean-up has become an annual event, it is as needed this year as it was the first year.
In order to be successful, everyone should participate. Working with neighbors toward a goal which is enjoyed by everyone is greatly rewarding.
To become involved, call the area commanders and help out, sign up, and clean up.
