Dodge/Flower Neighborhood Association

Neighbors Beautify Our Neighborhood

Volunteers Cleanup and Have a Picnic Lunch

What a great group of neighbors we have! Over 30 came out to help make Dodge/Flower streets more beautiful.

Sixteen Dodge/Flower neighbors were joined by four Catalina High School students, four employees of CPSA, and about ten people from Compass.

Several neighbors took advantage of dumping furniture and branches that can't normally be picked up by Solid Waste's bruch and bulky pickup due to size/quantity restrictions.

Many hands make light work - Lunch was scheduled for noon, but with all the helpers, the work was done by 10:30! This made it possible to have lunch earlier so neighbors could have lunch before taking off to watch the UofA basketball game.

THANK YOU! to everyone who walked the 6+ miles of streets and alleys:
Pat Hamilton, Terry, Angie, Jason and Brian Sprouse, John Cise, Jean and Elizabeth D'Andrea, Marie and Harry Cornelius, Karl, Jen & Jake Lehmann, John Kuschnereit, Kristine Billings, Rebecca Raub, Emma Hockenberg, Cody Laudon & crew, Mick McLaughlin & crew, CPSA's Cheryl Fanning - Jim Cates - Mary Hansbrough - Miriam Kile, and Ward III's Bennett Bernal. Thank you to those friends and neighbors who offered support in other ways: Beverly Van Den Borre, Elizabeth Ramey, Paul Gonzales, and special guest David Kha who took pictures for our website.

Thank you Subway, Church's and Costco

Subway Sandwiches, Church's Chicken and Costco generously donated food for the volunteers.

The sore muscles and weariness from walking, bending, lifting and trashbag-lugging were briefly forgotten as the volunteers enjoyed a picnic lunch of sandwiches, fried chicken and cake.

Thanks to TMM Family Services & City of Tucson Departments

TMM Family Services provided their empty lot next to Mission Vista Apts, making it a perfect spot to set up our base of operations.

Floyd Thompson arranged for the dumpster to be delivered by Solid Waste Management, and supplied us with trash bags, gloves and face masks.

Ronni Kotwica provided "picker-uppers" for those hard to reach places.
