This Saturday, May 19, haul out your goods. Prepare to sell that old lawn tractor, bowling ball, and set of gold plated fishing lures.
Tomorrow May 17th watch for an ad in the Indianapolis Star. Signs will be placed at Lawrence/Shelby, Otterbein/Hanna, Keystone/Radcliff and Asbury/Hanna beginning Thursday afternoon.
The weather is supposed to be good so get ready to sell your rummage.
Good luck, Greg.

Along with the above sponsors, about 200 plus students from U of I participated alongside long time residents and community members. The City of Indianapolis was also cooperative in many ways.
I even got to work with a group of kids from Indianapolis Juvenile Correction, escorted by a volunteer from Rolls-Royce Corporation.
Together we filled two full trailer length dumpsters, plus the packer truck from the City an unknown amount of times with refuse, debris, and trash. Collectively, we can do some neat things.

Watch here for more details, but just walking around our neighborhood will show that the neighborhood clean-up was a success. Many volunteers from the neighborhood, U of I, the Southside business community and the city helped pull it off.
We filled two large dumpsters with debris, brush, and trash. A packer truck from the city was filled a couple of times. All finished by 2:00PM before a brief thunderstorm rolled through.
Thanks for all of your support.

The Great American Clean-Up will focus on our neighborhood this weekend.
In partnership with Keep Indianapolis Beautiful, the new Gateway Business Alliance and the University Heights Neighborhood Association, UIndy is pre-registering volunteers willing to help clean the University Heights neighborhood as part of an ongoing restoration process on Indianapolis' south side.
The Great American Cleanup is the first of three events this year sponsored by the Gateway Business Alliance to encourage the revitalization of the city's Southside.
This is the first year for the cleanup, which is planned to expand into other neighborhoods in the coming years. The sponsoring organizations are hoping to rally residents to come out in support of their community.
"When four volunteer organizations come together to make something happen, it is a significant accomplishment," said David Wantz, associate vice president for community relations at UIndy. "This is a great way for businesses and community members to come together, get involved and take pride in their neighborhood."
As an added incentive, volunteers will receive free breakfast, sponsored by Starbucks, and lunch. Those who pre-register also will receive a free T-shirt. If you can't pre-register, show up Saturday and we'll put you to a good use. The schedule for the day is as follows:
7:45 a.m. - 8:45 a.m. - Registration & Breakfast
8:45 a.m. - 9:00 a.m. - Welcome Ceremony
9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. - Neighborhood Cleanup
12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m. - Lunch & Entertainment
Where: Registration, breakfast, and lunch will take place at the Stierwalt Alumni House parking lot. The clean-up will take place throughout the neighborhood.

On a different topic, I must say that the University of Indianapolis has been doing a great job through programs and education to reduce tensions between students and year round residents.
A while back noise and other problems seemed more common than they currently are.

Spring is right around the corner.
Sincerely,
Greg Filter
