At 8 o’clock on Saturday morning March 27th, 2010 FAV members met at Luis Lopez Automotive on Fletcher Dr to help hand out brooms, shovels and trash bags supplied by the Office of Community Beautification and sign in volunteers for an Atwater Village Spring Cleanup.
Crews from the MTA, the River Keepers of the Los Angeles Conservation Corps and students from the Boys Republic joined community members to make Atwater sparkle. We swept weeded and picked up trash through out the community. Everyone worked hard to remove over grown weeds along the sidewalks on Fletcher Dr, clear weeds and trash on the Hyperion Bridge and give the median at Glenhurst Ave and Glenfeliz Blvd on Glendale Blvd a good cleaning. The River Keepers team also weeded and cleaned the parkway at Larga and Fletcher Dr. We would like to give a very special thank you to community members Steve and Judy Korin, David Eder, Ketty from The Atwater Playhouse and Jacob Clark from Revo Café. Jacob was kind enough to think of all the volunteers and brought hot coffee to get us started and cases of water to keep us hydrated as we helped to make our community shine. Also a list was compiled of bulky items left on residential parkways and sent to the North Central Sanitation Dept so they can be removed as soon as possible.
Did you miss this clean up? No problem we are always looking for ways to keep Atwater clean and our next event will be to take part in Friends of the Los Angeles River’s Gran Limpeza on May 8th. Our location will be at the Sunnynook Bridge so mark the date then check our website at www.friendsofatwatervillage.org for updated information.
