A local resident of East Riverside, Leslie Redden, decided to take the trashy walk she experiences every morning on the way to the bus stop into her own hands. She created an event to help beautify East Riverside and get her community involved as well! Neighborhood businesses The Buzz Mill Coffee Shop and Antone's Nightclub heard about the event and jumped right on board. Buzz Mill Coffee will offer free coffee to attendees, and Antone's will be giving away free passes to shows to those who attend the Trash Walk.
Meet at The Buzz Mill, at 1505 Town Creek Drive at 10 a.m. this Saturday, June 8, for some free coffee to get started. Gloves and trash bags will be provided.
Organizers emphasize that this is a great way to give back, meet your neighbors, have fun, and clean up your neighborhood! They plan on doing this again on East Riverside and would love ...

Charles is 90-something, goes Tango dancing every week ("I dance fast," he says,) and writes poetry.
I met him at the 23rd Annual Summer Fan Drive Kickoff Celebration, which featured Mayor Lee Leffingwell (who received some good-natured heckling from Charles.)
The event was sponsored by Family Eldercare, who have been serving seniors, adults with disabilities, caregivers and families for over 30 years.
Family Eldercare and KGSR will team up once again for our summer fan drive at Fan Fare Friday, on Friday, June 21st. Mark your calendar, and plan to join us!
After 23 years of awareness and community support, Family Eldercare will deliver the 73,000th fan to a deserving senior this summer!
