It is hoped that the zone leaders and people from the zones will take the initiative to continue to clean up in that zone in the future.  

The cleanup is set to take place from approximately 8:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.

The organizers will be staging at Middleton Plaza located at North 19th Street and St. Johns Avenue at 8:00 a.m. for registration and assignments. 

Upon completion, refreshments will be served at Grace Fellowship Church located at 2400 St. Johns Avenue.
