April 17 - Schnitzelburg Area Community Council Clean-Up
Following last week's rainy weather, the Schnitzelburg Area Community Council Clean-Up is Saturday, April 17 from 9 a.m. to noon.
SACC and Brightside will provide gloves, bags, and grabbers. Come to The Merryweather at 1101 Lydia Street any time between 9 and 11 a.m. to pick up your supplies. You decide where you pick up!
Anyone who brings a partially or fully filled trash bag back to The Merryweather by noon may enjoy special perks for the day and their name will be entered to win a Merryweather merch package. More information is at the SACC Facebook page.
If you can't make it, we encourage you to take a little time when you are able to clean up the area around your house. Every little bit helps! Questions? Send an email to: sacc@schnitzelburg.org.
Councilman Mulvihill thanks SACC President Jennifer Chappell, SACC members and the Merryweather for their commitment to improving the neighborhood.
