Please join us as we make the District sparkle again, and have some fun in the process! 

Even if you cannot help officially during the afternoon, get out at lunch and clean around your building - trash, weeds, anything that needs a little TLC.  And whether you help or not, we hope you will join us for the Block Party at 5pm.
 (volunteers who register and help with the cleanup will get a free drink coupon and will automatically be registered for a raffle ticket for the District Gift Basket).

If the weather is inclement the morning of July 9th, please check back here to see whether we are moving the date to the raindate of Thursday, July 16th.  Official announcement will be made here. 

See you then!
