NWNC End of the Run for Operation Clean Sweep Week 48

June 9th, 2011

To all Northridge Stakeholders:

Please take this opportunity to join us as we say our final Thank You to all the volunteers that have participated in our Saturday Operation Clean Sweep events. This Saturday will for our final event marking an end to a great run of Saturday programs that brought friends and neighbors alike out for the better of Northridge.  This will be a time to reflect on the accomplishments we made as well as to find ways to support the Thursday cleanup efforts lead by JoAnn Phillips that will continue on.

So take this opportunity to be part of a celebration to thank all those that made Operation Clean Sweep a successful program and that are credited for the removal of well over 2000 bags of trash and debris collected from numerous streets throughout Northridge. This program brought a community together for the common good of all of Northridge.

Saturday’s event will start at 7AM in the same location as last year’s kick off of Operation Clean Sweep along the corner of Tampa & Chatsworth. This will be our final leg of the run. Hope to see you there. Parking will be on the north-west side of Chatsworth Street just west of Tampa Avenue in Northridge. Refreshments are being brought by the good Guys at Saffari Automotive.

PS: A Special THANK YOU to Coach Dick Rippey, Mr. & Mrs. Paul Bunion & Ron Wengler, Clipper Joe Oswald, Yellow Croc’s toting Freddie Rymond, Poster Girl JoAnn Phillips, #1 Realtor Christina Fischer for their hard work and efforts that made Devonshire & Tampa Shine.

As of this week we are still challenged with trying to bring the irrigation system along the Tampa medians back on line. It is my hope that NWNC will recognize the need to appropriate the necessary funding to make the repairs to the irrigation and timer systems so that we will not have to endure another year of desert and weed infested conditions.

Hope to see you Saturday as we mark an end to a great ride – Thank you

PS: THANK YOU to last Saturday’s volunteers that polished up the east side of Corbin including the median between Chatsworth and Kingsbury Streets. Efforts continue in repairing the sprinkler systems in the Tampa median between Tunney and Devonshire where we now have water due to the skillful efforts of Coach Dick Rippey. In the following weeks we hope to have many of the branch lines and heads replaced and working so we can concentrate on funding and installing a functioning automatic timer to prevent another year of tumble weeds and dust bowls. Your efforts are making a difference and are being used as the model in many other parts of the Valley now. I am proud that you have chosen to set the trend that will lead to a cleaner, greener, safer Northridge and City as a whole.

I’d like to thank Coach Dick Rippey (Tampa Irrigation crew), Can’t Slow a Good Man Down Ski, Mr. & Mrs. Paul Bunion Marlene & Ron Wengler, Edward Scissorhands Craig Byers (Whom was right behind Ski leading the charge), B-Spice Brookster, Rock-A-Billy Teri Grossman, Clipper Joe Oswald, Commander in Charge Glen Wilson for shaking up Northridge and making the community come together for the best of all stakeholders.

In June 2010, Tom Johnson started Operation Clean Sweep, and since then, volunteers have cleaned many Northridge parkways multiple times. They have filled thousands of bags with debris.  Northridge has never looked so good.Join this amazing campaign, and make new friends that have a common goal.
What can be better than free exercise with guaranteed immediate results? (Beautiful parkways)
Why do you need a gym membership when you have Operation Clean Sweep?

If you are not able to perform this work then you can distribute “Did You Know” letters signed by Councilman Mitch Englander informing adjacent owners they are responsible for parkway maintenance. Contact me to let me know if you will deliver letters. We look forward to meeting you this Saturday.

Check up on updates of Operation Clean Sweep regular Thursday or/& occasional Saturday on NWNC’s website: www.northridgewest.org or Councilman Mitch Englander website www.cd12.org
