Good clean thanks!
We had a wonderful turnout for Sunday's cleanup. A group of kids joined us along the way, and helped to collect 35 bags of trash from the blocks around Ralph and West Streets.
We were also joined by the Watershed Action Volunteers, who followed us and marked storm drains to raise awareness about river pollution.
Winn-Dixie kindly donated food for the cookout we had afterwards, and altogether we had a great time.
Chris Carter reported Monday, in an email with the subject line "Pride",
It was so cool to walk the neighborhood last night, with no trash to trip over.We at RADO would like to say thank you to everyone who pitched in. Our work is not finished. We still have a lot to do to keep this area safe and clean for everyone, but we're off to an excellent, enthusiastic start.

What a breath of "fresh air" to see people donating their Sunday's to cleaning up their neighborhood. In this day and age of so much apathy and waiting for the government to take care of everything it did me good to read this article. There are still good and caring citizen's in Jacksonville and I'm glad and proud of this group of volunteers.
