Summer 2009 Mini Clean & Green

Summer 2009 Mini Clean & Green

Eleven Fulton River District residents met on Saturday, June 27, 2009 to continue efforts to clean up the neighborhood. Thanks to all who volunteered!

The residents weeded the flower beds north of the park at Kinzie and Des Plaines and continued to clean up in the empty lots along Kinzie to the west, behind Jewel. Nearly twenty bags of weeds and trash were collected and hauled away by the city. Although the temperatures were warm, the residents stuck to their plan and made a significant contribution toward improving the appearance of the area. Another Clean and Green event will take place in October; those interested should contact Maria Mikel at  This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

We had great turnout for our first Clean & Green day of the year.  Long time members and first time residents all got together to clean up parts of our neighborhood that needed it the most.  Special note: Alderman Walter Burnett of the 27'th Ward attended and worked with us for over an hour!
