Thirty-Three (33) Ways to Love Our Neighborhoods on Earth Day
Saturday, April 19, 9am-Noon
 
Dear Neighbor,

Get your hats and sunscreen ready.  In every corner of our district, neighbors are planning projects to beautify and improve our parks, public areas and schools on Earth Day. Some projects are small -- a few neighbors cleaning their own block.  Others bring hundreds together like Friends of Sausal Creek in Dimond Park or Bret Harte School. We hope to surpass last year's record of about 800 volunteers! 
Please choose one of the 33 District 4 Projects and get out and meet your neighbors!    Trash pulled out of Courtland Creek.

Please bring your family, work gloves, brooms and tools and join us at any of the sites in our district. The City provides T-shirts, garbage bags and tools (upon request).  Our office also provides some snacks and other support.  Contact us if your have any questions 238-7004. Please forward this to your friends and neighbors.

Planting Natives in Dimond Park
Look for a special thank you gift from me where you sign in to volunteer on Earth Day.  For the third year we are distributing packets of native California Poppies.  They are perfect for our City's dry, clay soil.  You can see beautiful patches of these golden flowers in the medians & hillsides of Joaquin Miller Road from past efforts.
