This Saturday: March 14th Neighborhood Clean Up Day

Get ready..... we're going to do it again.....

It's just about time to meet at the B-BAR-H Ranch Arch located on the North end of the B-BAR-H Ranch to get our neighborhood cleaned up and lookin' good! The photos are from last year's event, and we'll take more photos this year!

Everyone is planning to meet at the Arch at 8:00 a.m. on Saturday, March 14, 2009. Riverside County's Chaka Ferrel is the Community Improvement Specialist assigned to our area. Officer Regina Keyes from Code Enforcement will be with us throughout the morning.

The neighborhood met, we discusssed a simple plan and now we'll make it all a reality this Saturday morning. Join us at the Arch at 8 a.m. this Saturday.

We're going to clean up and fix the Arch, too. Bring a ladder, bring your creative ideas and some muscle. This is a neighborhood team effort brought to you by the B-BAR-H Neighborhood Association.

Clean Up Day a HUGE success!

The Clean Up Day sponsored by Riverside County Code Enforcement on October 11, 2008, at the Bubbling Wells Elementary School was a huge success. There were six large dumpsters filled to the brim with throw-away items.

Volunteers arrived in the masses to be a part of something greater than themselves and for the common good of us all! One of the area churches drove in with over 12 strong, eager helpers to assist people with the loading and unloading of trash. Neighbors from the B-BAR-H Ranch Community Association helped, too.

Here's a list of volunteers from the B-BAR-H Neghborhood: Kathy and George Munoz, Curtis Schway, Andy Biswas, Doug Gordon, Ford Wathen, Anna Miller and Jim Fosbinder. Curtis and Doug volunteered to use their trucks and canvas the neighborhood for trash. They made several trips back and forth removing large items from the street sides in our area plus went into the fields to clear large items from the hiking trails.

Hats off to all the people for volunteering their Saturday morning in an effort to help create a clean community.

Chaka Osborne, Riverside County Community Improvement Specialist coordinated this event. Her Associates from Code Enforcement attended the event and included Officers Cindy Black, Tom McMullen and Tony Green. Everyone was in attendance to make the morning's event a huge success. Steve Hernandez, Legislative Assistant from the Board of Supervisors rolled up his sleeves and pitched in to help. It was definitely a true team effort.

People from all areas of the DHS Unicorporated areas filled their trucks, cars and trailers with unwanted items and arrived between 7 a.m. to Noon to this free clean up day. Driving home it was obvious the day was a success. The neighorhood looks better! Special thanks to Chaka, her team at Riverside County Code Enforcement and all the volunteers who made this event a HUGE success!
