"Please join us in the Highland Restoration Assoc neighborhood cleanup," says Kelly Payne Gay.

"Our cleanup will be held this Sat, Nov 5th, from 8am to 11am. We will meet at the Columbia Park parking lot. We’ll provide gloves, trash bags, and trash grabbers for volunteers to use during the cleanup."

"Because there are a number of other community events going on this weekend, we will have a shorter event and we will not go out to lunch after. So please come out and help us pick up the candy wrappers from our trick-or-treaters and get the neighborhood looking good for the Nov 19 Jazz Fest!"

An additional community event: Shreveport Green is having a hazardous material disposal on Saturday from 9am to 11am; drop off is 3825 Mansfield Rd.
