Help make Our Neighborhood Sparkle: Clean Sweep 2010 May 22
In 2010, the Clean Sweep program will pick up where it left off after a successful 2009 and continue to clean up the area while building community spirit. Come and join in on the fun on this Saturday: Projects include Planters for South Clinton, Cleaning Ellwanger & Barry Park and projects in other gardens and locations in this part of the Flower City.
Clean Sweep 2010 for the Southeast Quadrant- starts May 22nd at Cobb’s Hill Park, Culver Rd. and Norris Dr.
Saturday Clean Sweeps begin at 8:30 a.m. where volunteers arrive to free coffee and donuts. They’re given a free t-shirt, assigned to a team and hit the streeets by 9 a.m. Tools are provided, but volunteers are encouraged to bring their own. They return to the staging ground at 1 p.m. for a picnic to build on the community spirit that is the most lasting benefit of Clean Sweep.
More than 19,000 volunteers have demonstrated their pride in Rochester by working alongside City crews to clean and beautify just about every street in the city. In addition to removing litter and debris, volunteers do such things as planting flowers, pruning trees and performing other neighborhood beautification projects. In 2009, the Northeast Quadrant cleanup drew nearly 1,200 volunteers who collected more than 25 tons of litter and debris from the neighborhood. That brought the total debris collection for 2009′s Clean Sweeps to more than 100 tons. With your help, we can make 2010 surpass the impressive goals set in 2009.
