Thank you to the 50 neighbors who came out to help clean up around Lake City on Sunday, April 7th. There were lots of new faces and many sighted that being active in the community was a way to alleviate some of the sadness they had been feeling about their neighborhood. A huge thank you to Annette from Kaffeeklatsch for helping to organize the event and for providing the delicious treats that participants enjoyed upon their triumphant return to the Mini Park. We collected 27 bags of garbage, over 20 needles and three shopping carts full of wet cardboard and other debris.
“Build Lake City Together” provides everything you need to participate including gloves, grabbers, safety vests and trash bags. These events are family friendly and a great way to meet neighbors, give a little shine to Lake City and feel great doing it.
