"This is Tom from the We Care Neighborhood Watch Group. We are going to clean up our area, the streets and the alleys. Anyone who is not a member of the group and is willing to help, you are more than welcome. We are going to try to pick up all the trash in the area to make it look better for the people who live in it and the people who pass through it. Also, anyone who doesn't own their property and doesn't want to help us, you can just pull the weeds between the cracks in your sidewalk and let it lay, we will pick it up. Always remember, the neighborhood is only as good as the people who live in it. The neighborhood will only be as clean and law abiding as the people want to make it. They called for rain over the weekend, so we have to change it to a Friday, Monday or Tuesday. Anyone that wants to help, we welcome you and you might learn something about our group."
