From notice:

The Knights of Columbus will be holding our 4th annual giant charity yard sale on Saturday August 27th next to the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart (downtown next to Monroe Park and the Altria Theatre). The yard sale will be a combination of 20 or so independent vendor tables and the Knights will be selling donated items for charity. We will advertise heavily to VCU students and residents in the near by Fan and Oregon Hill area . Six foot tables are only $35 and hours of operation will from be 8AM to 3:30PM. A limited number of tables are still available. All vendors must sign a hold harmless waiver form. Please email me (Alex) if your are interested in reserving a table. Thank you!!!

Report On Saturday’s Cleanup

From Cherry Street neighbor Jimmy Blackford:

The Oregon Hill cleanup went quite well – we picked up 4.99 tons – 10,000 pounds!!! Add to that the small litter that was picked up separately. This was the most ever picked up in Oregon Hill, I believe. Seven fellows from a VCU fraternity got the newsletter delivered to their house & came to help quite by surprise I might say! I am so grateful that someone delivered all those newsletters!

With those unexpected volunteers, plus Becky St Clair & Joe Brancoli who come to help even though they don’t live in Oregon Hill, it was for me the easiest cleanup yet! I counted 13 volunteers total. Thanks to Chris Hughes for spearheading this on a 90 degree day.

Jane Hotchkiss wants to do another alley cleanup fairly soon to get the few items that we couldn’t get this time due to a full truck.
