Passing along the below message received from the Mayor's Office of Volunteerism and Engagement (MOVE)

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Dear Neighborhood Association:

Friday & Saturday, October 23 & 24, 2009, have been officially proclaimed as Make A Difference Day in Albuquerque. Your neighborhood association is invited to "Make A Difference" by participating in a neighborhood clean-up. Last year, some Albuquerque neighborhood associations sponsored neighborhood clean-ups resulting in the collection of thousands of pounds of debris. If your association would like to hold a neighborhood clean-up on Friday or Saturday, October 23 or 24, please contact Debra Saine at dsaine@cabq.gov, 767-5815, prior to October 2. Arrangements will be made for a dumpster and/or pick up of the debris.
