Celebrate Good Neighbor Month By Organizing a Neighborhood Clean-up
It's Good Neighbor Month in the city of Tulsa until Nov. 19. For
the next couple of weeks the City's Working In Neighborhoods
Department can help you with organizing a clean-up event with your
neighborhood association, block group or other resident group to
improve the appearance of our city.
A 60-Minute Cleanup may be just what your neighborhood needs. On
the weekends during Good Neighbor Month, neighborhood associations
and groups may simply take an hour to clean or spruce up their
neighborhood or help elderly or disabled neighbors with projects.
To register a neighborhood for a 60-Minute Cleanup, contact Working
In Neighborhoods Neighborhood Liaisons Raquel Dawson, (918)
596-7217, or Cassandra Love, (918) 576-5634.
It's also a good time to volunteer to help remove graffiti that
detracts from Tulsa's appearance. It's especially discouraging for
neighborhoods that take pride in a well-kept look.
Tulsa's Working In Neighborhoods Department can organize
graffiti removal projects for neighborhood groups, civic groups and
other concerned citizens who like to see instant results from their
efforts. The City of Tulsa will supply all of the paint and
materials, provide supervision, as well as find suitable locations
for service. Groups can contact Graffiti Abatement and Education
Program Coordinator Jesse Badoe in Working In Neighborhoods, (918)
576-5376, to participate.
Even after Good Neighbor Month ends, Tulsa residents can
continue their neighborly ways. Residents may volunteer anytime
during the year to remove graffiti or take an hour to clean up
their neighborhood. Those who do not have an active neighborhood
association can contact the City of Tulsa neighborhood liaisons for
information on how to start a neighborhood association or
strengthen their existing association.
