February 9th, 2008 Cleanup Summary

Great clean-up this past Saturday!We had about 44 people out there divided into 4 groups taking each side of the street and starting at each end of 8th Avenue meeting in the middle. Many of the kids got really involved and some seek now to become part of Oak Park's leadership. That is what Al and I started this adventure hoping for and I have to say it's really maturing thanks to all of your participation.We missed CB out there this month but we had great growth from Immaculate Conception Church. Apparently, they had noticed us cleaning one Saturday and asked Al how to participate. A few joined us last month and this month they brought a whole crew. Next month, they intend to bring more.Al, I know we're super busy, but I think it would be great if we worked with OPBA's ecclesiastical roundtable list to arrange periodic speaking engagements at local churches to invite, to engage, and to inspire their participation in 2nd Saturday Clean-Up. Be well everyone and Oak Park should count its blessings the day that Al arrived! Thanks for being my great partner in non-crime. ;)
