Live/work/shop/dine/study (or …) in Morgan Junction? Show some love for the neighborhood! Next Sunday (May 7th), Jill Boone is organizing a community cleanup, and hoping you’ll RSVP ASAP if you can help, so she can have enough supplies on hand:

Bring your kids or partners or friends and come help us make our streets litter free! On Sunday, May 7 at 9 AM we will gather on the sidewalk near Domino’s and Thriftway and then spread out in groups or families to pick up litter on both sides of the street.

Children are encouraged to come (with parents)! This is a wonderful give-back to your community that even little ones can participate in. I will pick up grabbers and bags from (the city) and if you need them, gloves.

For little tykes, I suggest bringing along a pair of kitchen tongs for them to use.

Last year, Zephyr at age 3 did a great job getting cigarette butts with his tongs. A little bucket might help too.

Last year we cleaned up along 35th in the pouring rain and we still had 8 intrepid volunteers. Hopefully, we will have sunny or at least dry weather this year. And we plan to do this at least once a month through the summer season.

Please RSVP if you are going to come, so that I can get sufficient litter grabbers from the city. You can RSVP by emailing me at litterleague@gmail.com ! Tell me how many of you and ages of kids coming. Let me know if you need gloves too and what size.
