Where: Meet at the picnic shelter at the Cherry Commons (entrance to Cherry Park off Strange Street). From there we will pick off different parts of the area to beautify.
What to bring: We will provide garbage bags and gloves. If you have your own gloves or other cleaning implements, feel free to bring them along! Bring your dog, bring your kids; show them that keeping our world clean is easy when we all participate.
