Volunteers help with community cleanup
Over 50 volunteers showed
their support and put in some
elbow grease for the Spring
Cleanup event organized by the
Community Safety Team. The
crew conducted the cleanup on
Saturday, May 21.
The event was planned to
continue until 3 p.m., but with
the great turn out and hard work
they completed the area before
lunch. Nothing like a BBQ
burger after the clean-up.
“I want to thank all of those
who came out and helped,” said
Ashley Aguilar, of the Grant
Development and clean-up or
ganizing team.
“We had about 57 partici
pants, ages from 3 to 79 years
old,” she said. “I love and care
about you all, and I’m thankful
there are people like you who
care about our community.”
