Organized by YRNO
The Lakeview Neighborhoods clean-up will meet at Harrison and Canal at the specified time. Please bring any equipment you may have for cutting grass and weeds. All are encouraged and welcome to attend. This is the "kickoff" event for what the group hopes will be ongoing youth organized clean-up events in many neighborhoods in the city. The group has already received donations of materials and equipment from many of the generous business owners in the area. If you can help, please contact YRNO.
Thanks so far to Winn-Dixie, Home Depot, Dorignac's, Lowe's, Harry's Ace Hardware, Rockery Ace Hardware and Whole Foods. Our list of supporters is growing daily.
