Thank you Spring
Clean Sponsors &
Volunteers

Thanks so much to all of our
committed volunteers and
sponsors who helped with the
2009 Saginaw Street Clean
Sweep this May. We couldn’t
have done it with out you!
Nearly three dozen young kids
and adults brought their green
thumbs to help pick up
garbage, pull out weeds and
plant beautiful flowers along
Saginaw Street between MLK
and Pine Street. A special
thanks to all the youth that
helped out: Young Phoenix
Youth Group, Eaton County
Day Treatment, and Teen
Challenge. Thank-you to the
Westside businesses for your
support: Domino’s Pizza,
BIGGBY Coffee, Hickory
Farms, Quality Dairy, and
Capital City Wireless. Thanks
to Home Depot for providing a
truck. We hope to see you all
again at the next clean sweep!
