Clean-Up Teams Needed for Community Day

The Grafton Garden Club will host the seventh annual Grafton Community Day from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, April 21.

On that day, businesses, organizations, and residents will join forces to clean up and beautify Grafton. Community Day includes a community-led spring cleanup of the Grafton public areas, plantings around town, distribution of seedling trees to the residents of Grafton, and festivities on the Grafton Common to thank all the people who help clean up Grafton. 

Grafton Community Day supporters invite all other Grafton organizations to share the Common and to provide the best family-friendly day of beautification and cleanup while providing fun, entertainment, and education. 

The Grafton Garden Club is asking for communuty help. Here are just a few ways to get involved:

1. Form a clean-up team: Family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, community groups, and many others can form a team. Each team sets out to clean up and improve a designated public or private area (get permission if it's not your own area). This is a great way to support Grafton, give the town a facelift, and have some fun. Everyone in Grafton, and those who travel through it, notices the effort put forth for the community. If you are forming a team, contact Helen Blazis at 508-839-3175 so there will be enough bags and gloves for everyone.

2. Nominate a public area for clean-up. In your travels around town,if you notice a public area that is in need of a spring cleaning, let Helen Blazis know. There are always clean-up teams that are looking for places to beautify and cleanup.

If you have questions regarding Grafton Community Day, want to register your team or nominate a cleanup area, or if you belong to a Grafton non-profit organization that is interested in space on the Grafton Common April 21, email markblazis@charter.net, or call Helen Blazis at 508-839-3175.
