“We wanted to do more beautification projects in the City besides the two City-Wide Litter Cleanups,” said ABCCC Chairman Carolyn Gronemeier. “With Vintage Voices and the fall colors approaching, we felt this would be an appropriate project. I hope that members of the community can join us on October 6th.”
