Gamma Rho Lambda, SDSU, April 15, 2007

Big thanks to Gamma Rho Lambda!
Members of this San Diego State University sorority braved gray skies and a few sprinkles to help clean up the Hillcrest neighborhood on Sunday morning as one of their community service events. President Erica Silva said the group donates their efforts two-three times per semester. Hillcrester can show their appreciation next Saturday when they’ll be holding a benefit car wash in Park Boulevard Pharmacy’s parking lot (at Park & University) between noon and 4pm. For more information regarding Gamma Rho Lambda, a proudly queer sorority, visit their website.
Note: next Sunday (April 22) the Hillcrest Town Council is joining forces with a revived Hillcrest Clean T.E.A.M. to spruce up the neighborhood. Meet at 9:45am at the corner of Park Boulevard and University Avenue for cookies and coffee before sweeping the sidewalks and gutters until noon.

2007		 “Two years ago the San Diego Chief of Police, William Landsdowne, addressed the LGBT community at a coffee house in Hillcrest after much publicity. He stood in front of the large crowd of business people and announced that he was not going to send undercover police into our places of business.”
— Dee Keng in this week’s letters to the editor of the Gay & Lesbian Times
