May 12th McClatchy Park Clean Up - Summary

May 12th, 2007
Neighborhood Cleanup
Post Summary

The May 12th, 2nd Saturday Cleanup was an exciting event. Volunteers were successful in assisting the Oak Park Neighborhood Association with the set-up of the Celebrate Oak Park Community BBQ. The Oak Park Business Association would like to thank the City of Sacramento for providing the garbage dumpster, Sergeant Feenstra and Officer Erika Woolson for keeping us safe and the Oak Park Neighborhood Association for providing our volunteers with free BBQ! We would particularly like to thank the 46 volunteers and the organizations they represent:

Sacramento High School (37)
Hiram Johnson High School (2)
St. HOPE (2)
100 Minds (2)
YouthWorks (2)
OPNA (1)
Total (46)

Sadly, May 12th was my last cleanup as the 2nd Saturday Cleanup Coordinator. I would like to thank all the volunteers and organizations who supported this event and give thanks to those who have consistently put in time and effort behind the scenes to make the Cleanups possible. I would like to extend a special thanks to Al Williamson (St. HOPE/OPNA), Brian Fisher (100 Minds/ OPNA), Mike Hunt (YouthWORKS), Lisa Gray (OPBA) and Stephanie Debenedetti-Emanuel (Christian Brothers High School), we could not have cleaned the streets without you!

Thank You,


Kauleen Menard
