Saturday May 1 was a great day for the BNA Spring Community Cleanup! Thanks to everyone who showed up to give Bayside some love, and congratulations to our lucky raffle winners. Over two dozen old and new friends, neighbors, and their kids, took to the streets and gathered a whole truck’s worth of trash. Well done!
Special thanks to Ozzy at Coals Bayside for providing coffee and a space to meet; members of his staff who joined in the cleanup; and City of Portland, Maine Midtown Community Policing coordinator Jen Hickey, who helped make sure volunteers had gloves and bags and were signed up for the raffle, and afterward distributed the leftover snacks and water to Bayside neighbors in need.
We so appreciate our ever-generous raffle sponsors for the great gift certificates to:
And BNA board member Scott Morrison, who generously donated a gift certificate to Wilson County Barbecue
If you missed this cleanup, you can pitch in anytime by taking a few minutes to pick up around where you live. And of course in a few months we’ll be doing the BNA fall cleanup! We hope to see you then!
