Thank
you to all the residents who helped make the Bloomingdale Beautification Day a
success! Around 60-65 residents signed in for the event but many more
participated. Whether you worked in our business corridor, in tree boxes on
your block or simply spruced up your own yard, we appreciate your willingness
to help make our neighborhood a little more beautiful. Please help us keep an
eye on the new plants we planted and make sure they are watered regularly.
Zach
Sherif, the Bloomingdale Civic Association Beautification Committee Chair, and
the committee members/volunteers (especially Basem Saah, Albert Hopper and Mat
Bader - I'm sure Zach has a more extensive list of volunteers) did an
outstanding job organizing this event. This was Zach's first event as Chair and
given how successful it was, we are certainly looking forward to what he plans
for us next. We would also like to thank our local businesses that helped
support this event: Baccio (sponsored our pizza party after the event and
provided pizza and drinks), Sunset Liquors (donated water), Windows Cafe
(provided baked goods & coffee), Uncle Chips Cookies (provided baked goods)
and Rustik Tavern (allowed us to display our event banners and signs). We are
also grateful for the assistance of DPW, 5th District MPD, NoMa BID and the
Keep America Beautiful Great American Clean Up program for assisting us with
the event. Thank you, David Lippe, for lending your photography skills. Last
but not least, thank you ANC 5E for providing $1,000 worth of plants and
supplies, Commissioner Foster for coordinating the production of our gorgeous (and
reusable) beautification day banner and Commissioner Mueller (and Charles!) for
delivering our plants & for getting out of bed at 7:30am to go with me to
Home Depot to pay for the ANC 5E supplies!
Best,
Teri
