HRA members have organized a litter clean-up this Saturday at 8:30 am at the <a href="http://www.voanorthla.org/index.php?submenu=Programs&src=gendocs&link=TheHighlandCenter&category=Programs&PHPSESSID=4d911dff86a42bce880fe69375354c65"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Highland Center</span></a> parking lot (520 Olive Street)<br /><br />Call 221-7629 if you can help. It's a great way to meet the cool folks of Highland and get the neighborhood looking groovy for the Krewe of Highland Parade. Sorry, no public dumpster available for this clean-up.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">The above picture was taken in an alley in Highland.
