Spring will arrive soon! And with its arrival, it will be time again for Project Blitz, Operation BrightSide’s annual campaign to clean and beautify our neighborhood. Working with the Skinker DeBaliviere Community Council, Operation Brightside will provide each block with trash bags, tools, mulch, wood chips, and flowers (marigolds and periwinkles). Material pick-up will be coordinated by block captains and will be located at Four Corners Park (Kingsbury and Des Peres).
From 8 a.m. until 11 a.m., the Skinker DeBaliviere Community Council will serve coffee and donuts to all Blitz Day participants who stop by. Blitz Day goals include: • Clean up the alleys • Clean up other public areas • Plant flowers in public areas • Spruce up street barriers Because of your past involvement in Brightside, some of you have been contacted directly by the Brightside office (they maintain their own mailing list). Even if you have sent in a response to Brightside, please confirm your willingness to work on Brightside Blitz Day with the SDCC office at 862-5122. Your name, address, and phone number(s) are the information we need. Our answering machine is “on” when we are out in the community.
There will be an informational meeting for all those interested in working on Brightside at 10 a.m., Saturday, April 20, at the SDCC offices.
If you know you are a block captain, want to know who your block captain is, want to help with a special project, or have a project you need help with, please plan to join us.
The coffee pot will be brewing!
