Spiffin' Up Martin Luther King Blvd. Event Scheduled
Volunteers Needed to Help with Community Effort

The North / Northeast Business Association (NNEBA), with the support of sponsors and organizations and businesses located on Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd, is organizing a clean-up event on Saturday, April 28, 2007. Neighborhood businesses, community members, and citywide friends will pick up trash, clean graffiti, and remove street debris providing a public demonstration of the pride felt for this avenue where people work, shop, eat, and live.

Volunteers will register and have free coffee and pastries at Friends of Trees starting at 8 a.m. After opening words from Paul Knauls, ‘Mayor of MLK’, volunteers will disperse to one of five work areas along NE MLK Blvd. from Broadway to Lombard. Around 12 p.m. volunteers will wrap up and head back to the registration site for a ‘thank you’ lunch and bag of coupons and giveaways from event sponsors.
