Wrap Up : Redd Up South Point Breeze

Wednesday, May 30th, 2007

The event was a great success. We had a tremendous turnout despite the less-than-perfect weather. We also collected an additional 31 names for our emailing list! Welcome to the new subscribers!

Here’s a note from our clean up leader, Hope Feldman (hoperealestate@yahoo.com):


Thank you so very much for coming out on a rainy, cold, day to clean up Point Breeze. We did a wonderful job. Our neighborhood looked great, even on a rainy day.

For those of you who came from outside our neighborhood we give special thanks. We really appreciated your contribution on our Redd Up Day.

Our next activities will be a ‘Day of Landscaping’ to continue our beautification of our neighborhood; a July 4th celebration, complete with a parade ( we invite all to decorate their bicycles and come on out) we will have food and games; our summer block party - date to be announce; and our fall clean up - Oct. 13th weekend.

Please let me know if you would like to get involved in any of the above. Also, please let me know about other ideas. We want to bring our community together.

Again, thank you all so much for your help!!!
