October 22, 2006 - Ives Place Alley Cleanup

Michael Berger and Fatema Salaam created a fantastic opportunity for neighborhood bonding through this weekend's Ives Place alley cleanup and cookout. It was a blast to stop by, pick up some trash, and meet numerous fellow residents as everyone rolled up the sleeves to cleanup the Ives Place alley. There is nothing that I prefer more than joining in with the efforts of residents that are working hard to lift
the level of neighborhood cleanliness. Don Cheney commented that this was the first community alley cleanup in his 22 years in the neighborhood. As evidenced through this event and so many that we have been a part of throughout the campaign, residents really can make a difference. It is nice to see the Ives Place lifting the bar like so many of our other blocks and neighborhoods throughout the ward.

If you would like to join in a similar cleanup, please join Scott Christian's cleanup this Saturday (8AM) at 13th, Pennsylvania and G, SE.

Michael and Fatema - thank you for a great cleanup and BBQ.
