This year, Blitz Day for our neighborhood is on Saturday, May I.
We are presently trying to recruit block captains for the following blocks: 5800 Washington 6100 Washington 6100 Waterman If you are interested in being a block captain, please call 362-5122. Operation BrightSide has woodchips and leaf mulch available for pick-up during Blitz Week, as well as marigolds and periwinkles for planting in public areas.
To celebrate Springtime in St. Louis, t-shirts are available for $8.00 each. Proceeds will benefit Operation BrightSide.
If you purchase your t-shirt through the Skinker DeBaliviere Community Council, the Council will receive SI for every t-shirt sold.
They will be on sale at the SDCC office, 6010 Kingsbury, on Blitz Day. Operation BrightSide and Anheuser-Busch are offering CASH PRIZES to neighborhood organizations and groups for the best projects in these categories: Beautification, Clean-Up, and Deck the Dumpsters. Prizes range from $25 to 51,0001 Your block captains will be forwarding more information to you about these contests. Other BrightSide projects of interest: • Operation BrightSide is seeking volunteers to help plant petunias in the terracotta planters on Forest Park Parkway during late May.
If you are interested, call Kim Prizer at 781-4556. • On Saturday, April 17, from 1:00-3:00 p.m., “The Great American Clean-Up” will be held at the Forest Park Jewel Box. Volunteers are needed to “shine up” the Jewel Box and greenhouses in Forest Park. • The Homeless Resource Bank, a program devoted to providing service to the Homeless and those at risk of becoming homeless is working with Operation BrightSide and Project Blitz this year.
They are in great need of any household goods or reusable furniture.
If you are planning to dispose of anything that might be of use to someone else in need on Blitz Day or any other time, call the Homeless Resource Bank at 241-8803 to arrange a pick-up of your items.
