Successful cleanup at abandoned HP corner

August 2, 2010

Saturday’s “Intensive with Phil” project was a huge success. Thanks to nine super warriors who came out at 8 AM for three hours of deep cleaning, shearing, clipping, cutting, weeding, mowing and edging. HP42 deeply thanks our own Intensive guru, Phil, for delivering the goods with spirit, energy and a truck load of sharp and sturdy tools. HP42 also thanks the enthusiastic volunteers: Phil, Maria, Lupe, Heinrich, Arthur, Wendy, Barry and Meredith for delivering muscle and brawn. Special thanks to Bussard’s All Pro Automotive on York who contributed manpower in addition to generous loads of hot coffee, water, donuts and all the fixins’. Good neighbors jumped on board and contributed green bins – 8 bins were filled to the brim with organic material in two hours.

A plan was made before we convened — the next Early Bird Intensive date was inked: 8 AM, Saturday, August 21, meet on the corner of Ave. 50 and Milo Terrace (the small yellow office building that is for sale.) Bring gloves, your favorite garden tool and a large trash bag!

Your small commitment of time deeply helps our community! It fosters pride in our neighborhood and helps avert (sometimes) littering. Neighborhood cleanup is contagious! Ours are gatherings with a beneficial outcome. We hope you make a little time to volunteer with us soon. Email us at AldamaHeights [at] gmail.com so we can notify you of future events!
