Several new faces this week with a total of 12 people working together in the neighborhood. I worked alongside Mariah, long time west Norwood resident with lots of great ideas for the neighborhood and stories from the neighborhood. Other participants this week included Kenny, Josh, David, Vivian and Bill, Russell and Leslie, Eric, Brennen, and Kevin with a brief but stunning appearance of Josie Havens…
As the weather warms up we are anticipating even more neighborhood involvement and a much more festive event complete with food, music, and (if Brennan is willing) face painting for the young and young at heart. We would love for this to morph into an ongoing neighborhood party.
We’re also gearing up for April 24 when there will be a city wide effort to clean up Norwood. More to come on that as we get closer to the event and details become available.
Some ideas for future weeks:
1. Bring brooms and paper bags for glass clean up
2. Bring rakes for wet leaves
3. Seperate trash into waste and recycleables
4. Have t-shirts or vests to raise awareness and visibility while working (any interested donors?)
5. Have teams take out extra bags and gloves and invite people along the way to help out.
This is a weekly event… please feel free to join us.
Saturday’s 10am @ the Speckled Bird…
As always, remember to beautify the neighborhood and connect with your neighbors.
This is great Kevin Good job and I will be joining you and maybe also my husband.
