Clean & Green April 17, 2010

Come on out Saturday, April 17, 2010 to enjoy some breakfast goodies and the company of your neighbors. Then we'll work together to do some spring cleaning in the neighborhood. We'll meet in front of 5601 N. Karlov. We hope you'll join us.

Brynford blooms...when we work together!
