MCLA, City of North Adams College and Community Cleanup
The city of North Adams and the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts will team up for a good, old-fashioned Spring Cleaning, which is scheduled for Saturday, May 3.The 17th annual College and Community Cleanup begins with registration at 9 am at the MCLA Church Street Center, located on the corner of Church and Porter Streets. There will be refreshments provided. Transportation, gloves and garbage bags will be issued for all recruits, who will be brought to various sites around the city for a short cleanup shift with their crew. Everyone will be brought back to the Church Street Center for an appreciation lunch and closing remarks.
The cleanup effort is a delightful way to kick off the season in a positive fashion. Hundreds of students and residents are expected to participate. Individuals, families, organizations or entire neighborhoods are encouraged to sign up and take part in the event.
