The
Peaceful Coalition
was invited by Flint West Neighborhood Association President Cathy Assad
to help remove some of the trash in the neighborhood on June 8, 2007.
Coalition advisor Paul Leite organized a group of students from B.M.C.
Durfee High School to remove a particularly offensive pile of trash near
the corner of Pleasant and Rocliffe Streets. With help from a Fall River
Department of
Public Works truck, the large pile was quickly removed leaving a
much cleaner neighborhood. The group was also helpful in
removing
graffiti from neighborhood buildings. For more information about the
Peaceful Coalition, contact Paul Leite
at B.M.C. Durfee High School at 508-675-8100. For information about the
Flint Village West Neighborhood Association, contact President Catherine
Assad at 508-673-6387. |
