Make Boston Shine

Apr 19, 2012

**Updated April 30, 2012 - This year was BostonShines 10th anniversary & 6,500 volunteers made this weekend the largest cleanup in the City of Boston's history!  Thank you, Boston. Thousands are hitting Boston's streets for Mayor Menino's annual community cleanup: Boston Shines! Boston Shines calls on organizations, companies, groups, and individuals to help beautify our city on Friday, April 27, and Saturday, April 28.

Paint a community center.  Plant flowers.  Sweep, rake and pick up trash (see Mayor Menino setting a great example!).

Do your part and sign up your group and yourself.  But even if you can't join us next weekend, you can still make Boston Shine year round.
