Got the grabbers from the Delegado, thanks Vicki, garbage men know where to pick up at end of day, think perhaps 12 or so volunteers but could use a couple more if you are interested! Where...in front the park on the other side of the yellow bridge When..9 a.m. sharp What to bring..a mask, gloves if you want them, water Students and local neighbors will be paid from Otra Vez...this helps the local economy a bit and hopefully will give awareness to the problem of liter...once more! So if you are interested in joining..give me a call, 351-7251...or see you there! Thanks! | ------------Re: Tuesday. Cleanup in the hood!

Well that was some fun...and what a haul! Filled a container and many neighbors trash cans and then some! All in all we had 24 who come in and joined in the excitement and heat! What we came away with was..next time, later in the day..say 6! Mamamia...was too warm to go the three hours but can say after some water and shade sitting everyone looked refreshed and wanted to know when the next cleanup was going to be! So....when I took back the grabbers I mentioned to Francisco that we needed some signage and more blue trash barrels....as the Delegado is still feeding folks without work, he is tapped...so.... ...am thinking Otra Vez and Amy donations anybody would like to make....will go to signage..”no tirar basura” ..and more cans..maybe 15 in all through the hood to add to those already there! I can get some wood scraps in piles left around town and we can just nail them together and paint with some bright colors...easy peasy! Again, thanks so much for your support both at Otra Vez...because without that..this would not have happened...and joining us on the streets! Pics to follow if I can figure that out! | ------------Re: Tuesday. Cleanup in the hood!

Thanks for organizing this, Stephanie, what a great response! Let’s do it again soon. It was so fun to see Yazmin’s little boy collecting the aluminum cans and keeping them separate. I’m glad that there is some tangible value in at least some of the “disposable” stuff in our world. | ------------Re: Tuesday. Cleanup in the hood!
