King Spring Bring-Thing Fling-Thing

Want to help organize the King Spring Clean Up? We’re planning on an early May event – we’ll rent bins from Metro for recycling, garbage, batteries, etc. This is for King neighbors to get rid of old couches, defunct washers, TV’s, and anything else that needs to leave the house after the spring cleaning. This has been a big success in the past and we need some neighbors to help the KNA organize the event. If you’re interested, go to this survey monkey to help plan a day to meet in March.

Take care,
