Good Neighbors - Pete and Jay

Pete Emeott (right) and Jay Sliwinski (left) have received this year's "Good Neighbor Award" from the District 1 Community Council. These fabulous volunteers have been running our pick-up service for seniors at our fall Community Clean-Up for years. They have assisted hundreds of seniors with clearing out unwanted stuff, and have made sure that the seniors are happy, feel connected to the neighborhood, and that the materials are recycled. It is a win-win-win situation! I can't tell you how many people have commented on the relief they feel at getting the clutter out of their homes, for a reasonable price, and with the help of such friendly folks.

Pete and Jay, the seniors thank you, the neighborhood thanks you, and the District Council thanks you for your great work and dedication.

And while I'm at it, let me remind everyone that the Clean-Up will be Saturday, October 10 this year, at Harding High School. We could use another couple of crews to help seniors this year, so if you have a truck or just want to help out, give the office a call at 651.501.6345.
