Subject: [Emailfda] VCU/FDA Litter Sweep Saturday February 28th


Fan District residents have been invited  to participate in a first ever Fan Litter Sweep on Saturday, February 28th from 1-3p.m.. A group of VCU graduate students have approached the FDA and expressed interest in becoming more involved in our neighborhood by helping us rid ourselves of litter in some of our more problematic areas. A way of  "reaching out" to our community to help clean up streets, alleys and sidewalks. Working together will help both groups to identify problematic areas of the Fan and to help rid those areas of litter. The sweep will work in two ways:
First, nominations will be taken from anyone receiving this email (or flyer) in telling us where YOU feel the biggest need for litter pick up in the Fan may be. This may include alleys, streets, or sidewalks. (No homes or yards please.)
Secondly, those areas receiving votes will then become areas for the  clean up on Saturday February 28th. ALL Fan residents are invited to participate in the clean up, which will  last from 1:00pm until 3:00pm.
Plastic bags, and gloves will be provided by VCU for each individual, and there will be a pizza party afterwards for all attendees at the Student Commons Building on the VCU campus. A total of 36 students (and still counting!!) have already signed up, and ideally we would like to see at least that many from the Fan community join in too. Everyone will meet at Meadow Park for the kickoff at 1:00 and your assignments will be given out then.

Please consider this a day to give back to your neighborhood by helping to rid us of unwanted litter (which willl be recycled!) and a chance to reach out to the VCU community who are supporting this cause. Email your clean up nominations to: Betsy Coffield at Coffieldsupply at aol.com before February 24th. Thanks in advance!!   

This clean up was tested a few weeks ago in Oregon Hill to much success. Because of that, VCU has decided to roll it out to the Fan area, and the FDA would really like to have as many participants as possible.
