St. John Neighborhood Clean-Up02/16/2008  POSTPONED due to weather forecast, information on the new date will be posted as soon as it is available The St. John Neighborhood in east Austin has been working hard to clean-up over the past three years by sponsoring quarterly neighborhood clean-ups. The neighborhood has many low-income and elderly residents, and a group effort really helps! On Feb. 16, the neighborhood association will be focusing on our newly adopted St. John's Avenue, as well as Buttermilk Creek behind Pickle Elementary and some hot spots along the side streets. Come join us at 10 am and then stick around for a neighborhood block party from 12:30 to 3 pm. Both the clean-up and party are very kid friendly . . . Pickle Elementary will be working with parents along Buttermilk Creek. If you have a gas-powered trimmer or rake, bring them along. Date: Saturday, Feb. 16, 2008 - POSTPONEDTime:  10 am - 12 pm with block party from 12:30-3 pmLocation:  St. John Community Center, 7500 Blessing Ave., (NE Austin - 78752) Parking:  Plenty of parkingContact:  aweeks@austin.rr.com    512-653-4935Note: Please let Allen Weeks know if you have a group of volunteers coming so that they can plan for food.
