A Special Thank You to Street Dreamz Connecticut Riders MC
I would like to thank all the people who helped out on Saturday’s clean up. Most of all, our thanks go out to Street Dreamz motorcycle club who showed up with 18 people to help out. Without their help we would not have been able to go as deep into the neighborhood as we did. All together we sent out 7 groups and collected 14 barrels full of litter. While impossible to mention each Association member who helped (you know who you are) we are thankful for your efforts.
