If you don't already know, TOMORROW (Saturday, May 10th) is another neighborhood cleanup day for us.

(It's not a City-wide cleanup but one of the scheduled cleanups sponsored by PMBC, the Philadelphia More Beautiful Committee, for our 17th District. See http://www.phila.gov/streets/PMBC.html for details.)

Your block captain may have already contacted Bill Stern, our district's PMBC clean block officer (http://www.phila.gov/streets/pmbc_cl..._officers.html), to get some trash bags & other supplies for your block, or if not, you can just go out there yourself, grab a broom, sweep & bag up some trash, put it on your corner, and the City will take it away.

Last time my husband & I + my brother who happened to be visiting went out for just a few hours and it was amazing how much stuff we were able to clean up. It really doesn't take long and is VERY gratifying.

If you don't already have your own bags & brooms, etc. I believe Deborah Williams of SOSNA will also be handing out supplies again, at MARC, like she did on City-wide Cleanup Day.

Happy Sweeping!!

PS And by the way, our next two scheduled PMBC cleanup days are Saturday July 12th & Saturday August 23rd. Mark your calendars now!
