"Let's work together to keep our City clean. If you see trash
in the street or on the sidewalks, make an effort to pick it up
and place it in the nearest receptacle It is imperative that we
as citizens, take responsibility for our homes' appearance and
upkeep whether you own or lease. We need to work together to
keep the outside of our homes free from clutter. Organize with
your neighbors and ensure that those in need of assistance
with yard work etc., get the help they need. If we are better
to our neighbors, we will have better neighbors."
