Earth Day Cleanup in Arbor Lodge - Seeking Volunteers
Show us your braun (or friendly greeting, sweeping or sorting skills) - we need a few more volunteers at our cleanup this year.
When: Saturday, April 25, noon-3pmWhere: N Farragut at N DelawareWho: You! (and a friend!)
For the past few years, volunteers from Kenton and Arbor Lodge Neighborhoods helped recycle, reuse and get rid of materials from fellow neighbors. The $10 raised from each car load of junk we collected funded neighborhood projects such as trash cans along N. Denver in Kenton, and ALNA's movie night in Arbor Lodge Park.
Contact our cleanup coordinator extraordinaire Lauren, if you can help, by emailing vtylep@gmail.com.
