cleaning up various "hot spots" and generally
beautifying our neighborhood.

- A good way for students to get service
hours
- Pizza party following the clean-up back
at the church
This event will mark the end of an era, as
Joanie and
Jeffry Weidner will be retireing their trash
bags after more than ten years of supporting
our community with
their efforts. A big (Magician's) hat's off
to these
awesome neighbors!Questions, call 631-0051

Silverton Mural Project
Saturday, April 25
9 am - Noon
In conjunction with the Great American
Cleanup, KHAC is partnering with the City of
Silverton and Silverton Paideia School to
create a community mural. The windows of the
old Lighthouse store at Plainfield and
Montgomery Rd. will become our canvas! On
Saturday, April 25, volunteers will be
rejuvenating the street corner by painting
the mural, as well as planting bushes and
flowers in the corner lot.
The mural will be designed by students from
Silverton Paideia and local artist Ted
Hendricks. The students will be interviewing
long-time residents of Silverton for
inspiration for the mural which will be based
on Silverton, it's residents and it's
history. Residents ages 10 and up are invited
to come on April 25th, pick up a paint brush
and participate. Help us create a mural in
one day!
Call or email Bruce at the Arts Center to
sign-up at 631-4278 or bruce@kennedyarts.org.
