As plans for “Operation Neighborhood Clean-up” become finalized for Friday, Oct. 2 in the Frisco Subdivision, the Rolla Area Ministerial Alliance, together with the Rolla Police Department, encourages individuals or groups to participate in this beautification effort.
The clean-up, which is a community-wide effort, will take place from 7 a.m. to 12-noon in a 30-block area from 10th Street to 18th Street and Bardsley Road to Farrar Drive/Holloway Street.
Operation Neighborhood Clean-up is an opportunity for residents to partner with the Rolla Area Ministerial Alliance, community churches such as First Christian Church at Greentree, and the Vineyard Christian Fellowship, and the Rolla Police Department to enhance the neighborhood’s sense of community and increase property values.
The clean-up effort will involve tree trimming, hedge trimming, and the removal of brush piles, household items and trash. This event will coincide with the annual City-wide Special Fall Clean-up which will be held on Saturday, Oct. 3 beginning at 6 a.m.
All volunteers are asked to attend the welcome gathering on Friday, Oct. 2 at 6:30 a.m. at the Ber Juan Park baseball field concession area on 18th Street. A complimentary breakfast will be provided. The 5-hour clean-up will conclude at 12-noon.
Anyone interested in volunteering for Operation Neighborhood Clean-up should contact Chris Foster, Associate Minister at First Christian Church at Greentree, at 364-2649 orcfoster@greentreerolla.org, or Sgt. Jeremy Martens at the Rolla Police Department at 364-1213 or at jmartens@rollacity.org.
