ChangesPCR did another 8 AVE street cleaning today. We’ve realized that since the beginning of street cleaning (about two months ago) up to right now there’s a big difference. 8 ave seems to be more clean and sanitary because of the more frequent garbage pick ups that were just set up by the sanitation office. It is also the help of our volunteers who come every time during their free time to help us out. Thank you to all the volunteers who help us clean 8ave.
Protect and RespectAs you may know, we did a park clean up yesterday at Leif Erickson park and we had 58 bags of raked up leaves plus garbage that was in the park and these were picked up today by passerbys. But, we would like to ask our beloved pedestrians who visit the park often to keep our parks clean. We would like you to contribute just a little and that is if you can don’t leave garbage behind and not to destroy the plants that our volunteers worked hard on planting every week. Thank you
