The City-wide Clean Up Event brought residents and volunteer groups to clean up our parks and public open spaces, collecting bags of trash and helping to keep the City and the environment clean. One baseball team even made the decision to clean up the park instead of having their scheduled practice.
Thanks to all who participated last week!
