STREET CLEANUP FUND
In light of the economy we have decided to maintain our current membership dues (see above), despite increasing costs. However, if we are to continue to clean Wash West's streets, WE NEED YOUR HELP. Please make a donation to our Street Cleaning Fund, and the Civic will contribute a matching amount to the fund from its savings. It costs $550 each week to clean our 26 blocks, and every little bit helps. Please consider donating $10, $20, $50 or more!
