Adopt-A-Street

Our group has agreed to keep clean Panorama from Saguaro Blvd. (starting at Ha Ha China and going north toward the Fountain) up to El Lago.

We provide a community service, we get together, and we have a good time. Join us on the next pickup. We park our cars on the east side of the street just north of Saguaro. Splitting into small groups, we can clean the area (it's really not hard work) in a half hour. Afterward, several adjourn for coffee/tea, whatever. Call Tom or Estelle at 480-837-7339 for more information.
