The Mayor’s Fall Clean-Up Project in Federal Hill was successful. Wali Mutazammil, FHNA Social Committee Chair was informed on Saturday, October 17th at 8:00am that the clean–up project was still scheduled as planned despite the damp weather. As the old saying goes, “a picture is worth a thousand words”, once again that old saying is resonating in Federal Hill. Our environmentally conscious neighbors deposited bags of leaves and bags of trash, broken tree branches, etc. at the corner of William St. & Warren Avenue, which was the designated pick-up point for supplies and drop-off point for trash, debris, etc. Residents were the backbone in the success of the clean-up project. The oneness of spirit, great energy with laughter and a “can do” mood among our residents was present. Congrats to all residents who participated throughout our neighborhood, as well as those could not make it on Saturday. Collectively, I believe, if a few more residents keep showing-up consistently with oneness of spirit, great energy with laughter and a “can do” mood, ‘we can do anything’ and have a positive affect in our neighborhood in 2009-2010. Special thanks to Kathie McCleskey for picking-up the supplies, Kelly Sheehan block captain for taking the initiative to call and going the extra mile, Jane Wehrle for giving multiple announcements in The Loop, Pastor Lyn O’Berry from Lee Street Memorial Baptist Church and his congregation for offering a wheel barrow and extra hands, management at Southern High Apartments for encouraging their residents to participate in the clean-up, Walt Saxon and many others for their encouragement and moral support.
