Beautify Chula Vista, the popular neighborhood clean-up event, is in need of volunteers! This year’s sixth annual event, hosted by Mayor Cheryl Cox and the Chula Vista City Council, in collaboration with I Love a Clean San Diego and Allied Waste Services, is scheduled for Saturday, October 4, 2008 from 8 a.m. to noon at Otay Park, 1613 Albany Avenue. More than 1,000 volunteers are expected for this year’s event in western Chula Vista to paint out graffiti, clear brush, plant trees, stencil drains and pick up trash along city streets.

This is a great opportunity for students to earn community service hours and for residents to get involved and lend a helping hand in their community! For more information, and registration, please visit www.beautifychulavista.org. All volunteers must register prior to the event. Make a difference by registering today!
