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

[Fan Email Distribution List]

When is the parks clean-up planned?  May we get the students' help for that
as well?  

 

Floyd Avenue (street side) from VCU to N. Allen is in need, both N & S sides
of the street.  Is there a way to involve Binford Middle School too?

The 1300 blocks from Hanover to Floyd including the alley ways need cleanup.

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.
