everyone’s help. I want to encourage every Angeleno to help clean up their
neighborhood!” urged Mayor Villaraigosa, addressing the thousands in

Manager of Goudy Honda, was also in attendance and donated food and
refreshments for the volunteers.
During the rally, Mayor Villaraigosa presented recycling awards to area schools
and dispatched thousands of volunteers to cleanup sites across the city to
plant trees and flowers, pick up trash, and remove graffiti. Following the
rally, Mayor Villaraigosa planted a tree on the lawn of City Hall. |
