Preparing for Pomona Beautification Day

The date has been set for the 2010 Pomona Beautification Day. Save the date: Saturday, May 1.

Huddle up with your neighbors and friends to brainstorm a project you'd like to complete in your neighborhood. This is great opportunity to rid your neighborhood of an eye sore or beautify a barren patch of land -- and the city will provide supplies and festivities.

We're hoping the Garfield Park community center will be far enough along by May 1 that the kiddos in the neighborhood will be able to do a little landscaping or maybe a community art project.

The planning committee is looking for entertainment acts to perform at the post-clean up festival-with-food at the Fairplex. If you know of someone who might be interested, please contact them to see if they are game. It would be great to have some Pomona talent headline the festival. Let Rick DeBruyne know about the lead. You can e-mail him at rdebruyne@verizon.net

Stay tuned for registration information.
