Hillcrest Clean T.E.A.M. (Together Everyone Achieves More)

 

Please don’t litter in Hillcrest!

Thanks for pitching in to enhance the neighborhood

The next community wide clean-up will be held on Monday, July 20th beginning at 7am when we’ll be picking up after Pride weekend. Free t-shirts, food and great give-aways to all volunteers. Show up and make a difference. Pride will again be donating $10 for each volunteer hour to the Hillcrest History Guild (501c3) which will pass on each dollar to the Hillcrest Town Council. Meet on Park Boulevard south of University. Tools provided.

Please join this great effort to spruce up our neighborhood.

The photo at the right was taken at our winter clean-up effort on Saturday, February 28, after the Hillcrest Mardi Gras celebration. Volunteers Ben Nicholls, Mary Lou Diamond, Judy Nagel and Susan Fosselman joined the group effort. Here’s a slideshow from the Clean TEAM’s May 29th effort...and the party afterward.

 

Thanks to the Hillcrest Business Association, the Hillcrest MAD (Maintenance Assessment District) and SD County Supervisor Ron Roberts who equally provided the $30,000 for the Hillcrest’s beautiful green trash collectors. (The HBA and MAD also pay to have them emptied....bet you thought our taxes paid for that service.) The new trash can make a HUGE difference in keeping our neighborhood clean.

 

Who is the Hillcrest Clean T.E.A.M.? From November 2005 through January of 2007 dozens of diligent sweepers met the first and third Sundays of each month to clean the sidewalks and gutters of Hillcrest. After a well-deserved break, they’re sweeping again at least once every quarter being led by the Neighborhood Improvment Committee (NIC) of the Hillcrest Town Council.

Please join us!

“I would just like to say that I sincerely appreciate all the efforts of the Hillcrest Clean Team. Hillcrest has come along way since the days of the furniture building (which is now replaced by Whole Foods) and the rear parking lot that had been used as a public dump. Your diligent work has helped maintain the beauty of the neighborhood that Hillcrest is today! Bravo! Kudos to all!

I think the creation of the Hillcrest Town Council is a great idea! (I’ve called Hillcrest home since 1974.) Hillcrest is more than just a business district. The people that live in the Hillcrest area give the neighborhood it’s flavor and character! I’m interested and plan to attend an upcoming town hall meeting to hear the concerns and interests of other people in Hillcrest.

Once again, thanks to the Hillcrest Clean Team for a job well done!”

The very best to you, Holly Sandy
