Clean Sweep Day February 4, 2006
On a beautiful sunny Saturday, more than 75 volunteers met at the Hollywood Neighborhood City Hall. Lydia Milar, Chair of the Beautification Committee, had worked for weeks in preparation with our Senior Lead Officer John Washington, and our Triple “E” Program Coordinator, Chris Wood, to prepare everything for this day.

The parking lot filled with the yellow Hollywood Beautification Team t-shirts, adults and teens in bright green from the LA Conservation Corp, and the contrasting white of the Clean Sweep Tees made by CHNC and given to the parents and children from the Police Activities League, the Hollywood Recreation Center and the neighborhood. Even our CD 4 Field Deputy Eric Sanjurjo joined in.

The teams eagerly fanned out into the neighborhood, taking on different sections of the CHNC. When they returned hours later, it was clear that they had been working hard. The spread of fruit and pizza was gratefully inhaled while the crowd waited patiently as an emergency run was made to Dominos for seconds.

All in all it was a great day, especially when folks asked “When can we do it again!!” Thank you to everyone who worked to make the day a success. Your community appreciates you!
