We are once again preparing to participate in Operation Brightside Blitz.
A city-wide effort to clean up and spruce up our alleys, vacant lots, and public spaces, Blitz Day can be far more to all of us than simply an extra bulk trash pick-up day. Youth groups, student groups, special interest clubs like the Environmental Engineers, the Boy Scouts and the Girl Scouts, and many others have helped to fill our ranks, and of course are welcome once again this year to join in the efforts which begin around 8:00 a.m. and culminate with hot dogs, cold drinks and comraderie at Greg Freeman Park at Four Corners between noon and 1:00 p.m. on Blitz Day, which for our neighborhood is Saturday, May 1st.
If you have a special project that you will need help in tackling, the organizing meeting is the place to come and make your idea known. You can also talk with your block captain, share your ideas and learn some tips from your neighbors who have participated in years past at an organizing meeting on Tuesday, March 30th, 7:00 p.m., at the Skinker DeBaliviere Community Council.
Please call Laure Porterfield, at 862-5122, or Andy Cross, Beautification Committee chairman, at 721-6060.
