Rally this weekend, clean up the next

Open to block captains and dedicated citizens alike, the Philadelphia More Beautiful Committee will host a rally this Saturday to preview the Philly Spring Cleanup and pump up those doing the cleaning.

The free rally takes place at the Pennsylvania Convention Center, 9:30 a.m. until 2 p.m., and hosts an information fair, various workshops, refreshments and prizes. It will preview both the city-wide effort scheduled for next Saturday as well as an on-going initiative to promote neighborhood responsibility, not to mention thank those doing the dirty work.

To participate in such dirty work, visit www.phillycleanup.com or call 215-683-CLEAN.
