Spring Cleaning Day - May 19
Meet at the ViNA office at 9 am for a Litter Pickin' breakfast!
Spring Cleaning Day is the day that we all pitch in to clean up the public spaces in our neighborhood. This year there are several options for how you can help.
- Block Clubs - make a morning, afternoon or day of it. Pick up the litter and trash in your streets and alleys and on the sidewalks around your block. Call ahead and pick up gloves and bags from ViNA that can simply be placed in your trash cart once they are full. Remember litter is not only unsightly it is a pollutant when it enters our stormwater sewer and ends up in the Mississippi.
- Adopt a Street - meet at the ViNA office at 9 am for a Litter Pickin' breakfast of juice, coffee and muffins. Then pick-up gloves and bags to collect litter on one of our major public streets or parks.
- Stencil Catch Basins - Meet at the ViNA office at 9 am for the Litter Pickin' breakfast and then join the Environment Committee stenciling the catch basins.
June 2 - Garage Sale - Flea Market!
NEW THIS YEAR, the garage sale will include a FLEA MARKET at Loring School. The Flea Market will offer an opportunity for residents to reserve a 6 foot table in the school gym. This may work for you if you don't live near the high garage sale traffic area near the parkway, or if you only have a few items and would rather have someone else do the set-up. Residents of other Camden neighborhoods are welcome to rent a table at the Flea Market. Sellers will be responsible for their own sale transactions. The Flea Market will run from 9 am to 2 pm, while the rest of the sales will be advertised to go until 5 pm.
The cost to participate in the Garage Sale or to reserve a table at the Flea Market will be $7 as it has been for the last ten years. To register to participate, use the registration form. Check off either Garage Sale or Flea Market. You must register by May 11 to be included on the garage sale map Tables for the Flea Market will be limited and available on a first-come-first-serve basis so if you want to reserve a table be sure to register early!
