Pride Week is Coming

May 10-17th is the official kick off of Pride Week in Lorain. Citizens are encouraged to adopt a spot that needs a little pride injected into it. It could be a public or private space that does not represent the pride we feel toward our city or community. It's your opportunity to make a difference. Clean up trash, remove garbage and generally beautify a space around you. Click here to download an adopt a spot commitment form. Fill out the form and turn it in at either a council meeting or the 7th floor of city hall.

Every Wednesday, the Pride Committee will be meeting at council chambers at 4:00 P.M. If you have questions or would like to learn more you can go to the City's website at http://www.cityoflorain.org/ .

On Saturday May 17, 2008 from 1-3PM, a rap up meeting for all volunteers will be held at the Black River Landing to close pride week.

Please post your projects in comments and include address and date and time of projects. If volunteers need to bring anything post it here so citizens can join your event and participate.

My Project is at 20th & Pole Ave at the vacant lot on Saturday, May 10, 2008. From 11:00 am to whenever we stop. A cookout at 3:00 p.m. at the house across the street for volunteers. Please e-mail if you plan to volunteer so I know how much food to buy for the cookout. Bring rakes, shovels, gloves. We'll have garbage bags and volunteer vests from City. cte89708@centurytel.net. See you there.
