REMINDER: No SACL General Meeting on November 12, 2018

Soggy, but Successful Adopt-a-Spot! [Pictures]
The SACL held its Adopt-a-Spot event on October 20th, 2018. Thanks to everyone that came out to help pick up trash from Suburban Park Elementary to the Tinee Giant along Thole Street. The weather was rather rotten, which understandably kept some folks away, but we still picked up a lot of trash. We are looking forward to the next Adopt-a-Spot event!
Adopt-a-Spot – Saturday, October 20, 2018
REMINDER!
This weekend, don’t forget to come out and pitch in to clean up Suburban Acres!
Saturday, October 20, 2018, the Suburban Acres Civic League is hosting our Adopt-a-Spot event. Suburban Acres neighbors will gather to clean up trash in the areas of Suburban Park Elementary School and all the way down Thole St. to the Tinee Giant. Weather permitting, of course! We will meet at Suburban Park Elementary School at 9 AM.
Bring your friends and family and help keep your community clean in fellowship with your neighbors.
Our last Adopt-a-Spot in August was a success with great turnout! Let’s make this one another great success! The forecast calls for a beautiful, crisp, fall morning.
