John Hume, the Chair of the Main Street Design Committee, has done a splendid job in collaboration with neighborhood volunteers both personal from local organizations [13 in all including the Takoma Park City Council and the Daisy Scouts/ with their parents (Hooray Daisies!].

Participants laid down 77 bags of mulchin Maryland and the District, planted over $700 worth of plants, plus many donated volunteer plants from Michele's bountiful garden. We collected over 50 bags of trash and recyclable plant material.

This is the best day yet and I must say the joint is smokin'!!!! There are new plants, the trees are growing and all in all, the Main Corridor of EACH of our three sections on Main Street look terrific. I wanted to say thanks to the community, our sponsors, and to everyone who helped make this Clean Up Day a success!
