| July ___, 2010 (tbd) 8:30am-10am |
Adopt-A-Street Cleanup & Clean Sweep — Our adopted street is on North Lamar Boulevard, framed by 24th Street on the north side and Shoal Creek Blvd on the south side just above 15th Street. Since our adopted area is immediately adjacent to Pease Park, we gather at the picnic tables before and after our scheduled cleanup. The location is easily accessed by bus, bicycle, and car, and parking is a breeze.  More photos and a map...
We would love for you to participate! Be sure to RSVP if you will be joining us. Details will be announced via GreenGirls.net News. Subscribe to GreenGirls.net News. We hope you will join us in taking action together. Check back here for updates on quarterly cleanup events (scheduled for January, April, July, and October each year). Keeping It Clean
