Ricky's Retreat Team
Keep Bakersfield Beautiful Day
In thanksgiving to Honorable Mayor Hall, City Council, and the community of Bakersfield, Bakersfield's AIDS Project has formed a team of 50 Volunteers to help Keep Bakersfield Beautiful.
We are focusing on the area of Ricky's Retreat from Beale Avenue, to Grace Street, to Warren Avenue and Bernard St. This east Bakersfield area will be ours to beautify for the morning. Projects will include but are not limited to: graffiti removal, alley cleanup and trash collection, recycling, and planting flowers to help provide a clean, dignified, and welcoming experience.
It is part of Bakersfield's AIDS Project's pledge to give back to our community and to be responsible for our neighborhood. In collaboration with hundreds of other community members citywide, we will spend our morning picking up litter because we truly believe accepting anything other than a graffiti free, litter free, and beautiful green experience in the City of Bakersfield is beneath us.
Go Ricky's Retreat Team, KEEP BAKERSFIELD BEAUTIFUL!!!
