Tomorrow is the big day, don’t miss a chance to join your neighbors and head out for a morning of cleaning up the neighborhood together. If joining your neighbors to do something good isn’t enough maybe a delicious homemade lunch after cleaning will win you over? And if lunch doesn’t do it, you ought to come just to get one of these awesome t-shirts, screenprinted by Juxtaposition Arts, making you an official part of the Cleveland Green Team.

We are still in need of Team Captains for Queen, Russell, Upton, Washburn and Xerxes Avenues.

Let us know if you’re willing to take on that responsibility by giving us a call 612-588-1155 or emailing us.
Mark your calendar and don’t miss this exciting presentation by our great partners from the University of Minnesota Urban and Regional Planning program.
Join us for our “Green With Envy” Compost Bin Building and Community Garden visioning session on Sunday May 3rd at 4:30pm at the new Community Garden at Vincent and Lowry Ave N. We’ll work together to build some compost bins that will be used as part of our ‘Green with Envy’ pilot Community composting project (along with 10 other northside gardens overseen by Project Sweetie Pie). You’ll get your hands dirty learning how to build your own compost bins and we’ll talk about the garden, how to make yours thrive, and what we want the community Garden at Vincent and Lowry to look like this summer.
Be sure to attend the Be Active event on 
Live on the Drive is right around the corner and we have an amazing summer of community music planned for you. As we continue to develop and expand this great community event, we want to make sure you as a resident, neighbor and attendee have a chance to show your support. Similar to last year, we’ll have t-shirts available for sale at the concerts, but we are also looking for individual sponsors. For even just a $1 sponsorship will recognize you online and via social media as a support of this amazing community event. 
In the spirit of friendly competition we thought we’d share a quick update of the sign-ups for our May 9th Spring Clean Up event by street. We’ll be forming teams to walk from Lowry to Dowling cleaning up the neighborhood and are encouraging neighbors to invite one another out, and walk your block together. As you can see from the chart to the right, Sheridan, Thomas and Vincent have a pretty strong showing. What street will win the friendly competition for largest cleaning team? Only time will tell, so get out and invite your neighbors and may the best street win!
