Spring is here and it’s time to begin thinking about sprucing up our neighborhood. Operation Brightside Project Blitz will be held in our area on Saturday, May 18, 1985.
A $100.00 prize will again be awarded for the best clean-up and beautification project in each region, regional winners will compete for the $1,000.00 prize in each category.
Last year Skinker-DeBaliviere won the $1,000.00 prize for our clean-up of the railroad tracks from Delmar to Hamilton.
This year, we would like to see more groups get involved and enter several projects. Flowers (Hibiscus), tools and bags will be available from Operation-Brightside, but must be ordered in advance. Blitz day can be a lot of fun, it can give us an opportunity to meet new neighbors and get re-acquainted with old friends that we haven’t seen over the winter.
Please begin thinking of one or more projects and call Sam Green at 862-4187; if in DeBaliviere Place, call Bruce Yampolsky at 367-5640.
