Thank you Spring Clean-Up volunteers

We had over 40 volunteers of all ages help clean-up the Rice & Larpenteur neighborhood on Saturday, April 20. Thank you so much to these awesome volunteers, to St Paul Parks and Recreation for including us in the Citywide Clean-up, and to Caribou Coffee for hosting and providing the "fuel" to power us through the day. It was heartening to see volunteers from Washington Tech, St Paul Regional Water Services, Rice Street Royalty, Community School of Excellence, Maplewood Public Safety, and parents, grandparents, and kids all pitch in!
