2nd Ward Spring "Clean & Green"

This is a great opportunity to show how much you care about your community. Come join your neighbors or meet new ones as we for one day play the role of Streets and Sanitation workers picking up trash, pulling out weeds, getting rid of graffiti and making our neighborhoods a cleaner and safer place to live and grow up in.

The City will supply all the cleaning tools and Aldermand Fioretti's office will provide lunch. For more information contact Maritza Garcia at the 2nd Ward Office, 312-263-9273.

We plan to meet at 9:30am at the South Loop Field House, 1801 S. Indiana
