In the Works - Community Newsletter In the Works May 2017 | Page 43

The May 13 event kicked off at
Mission High School where an
energetic bunch of volunteers
basked in the morning sun, posed
for Snapchat selfies and cheered
as Supervisor Jeff Sheehy, who co-
hosted the event, gave a pump-
up-the-crowd pep talk all before
the day's work began.
Individuals from San Francisco’s
Pretrial Diversion Project spruced
up the neighborhood surrounding
Mission High School by
removing litter and debris, while
a dedicated group from Geo Care
pruned, raked and scraped dead
vines on Arlington Street in Glen
Park. Meanwhile, Public Works
crews teamed up with a cheerful
group of students to prune trees,
remove green waste and install
pebble mulch at Pink Triangle
Park and Memorial in the Castro.
It was a busy morning for these
hardworking folks, but the smiles
on their faces showed they were
having a blast.
Community Clean Team, now
in its 17th year, is Public Works’
largest and longest-running
volunteer program that keeps
San Francisco looking clean and
beautiful. Be sure to mark your
calendar for next month’s event,
happening on June 17, where
we will spruce up the Haight-
Ashbury, Cole Valley and North
of the Panhandle neighborhoods
in District 5. As always,
registration begins at 8:30 a.m.
and the speaking program kicks
off at 9 a.m.
