It's hard to imagine that 24" of snow fell on Anchorage this past Friday. If you're thinkning that this will delay Anchorage Chamber Citywide Cleanup - then think again.

The weather is working with us to clear what fell. Our Orange Bag Pick-Up Kick-Off is still a go for tonight at the Alsaka Wild home game. Starting tomorrow you can pick up your bags at 1 of 3 AT&T locations or at the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce.

And remember: The Clean Sweep Celebration is a RAIN OR SHINE event! So don't let a little Mother Nature stop you from getting our to cleanup Anchorage - or from joining us at the celebration.

The kids from Gateway School

The kids from Gateway School had a GREAT time cleaning up the school grounds and around Lake Otis and Abbott area today. They wanted to stay out longer which is a good thing! The weather was wonderful!! Sun, no wind and warm out. We gathered A LOT of garbage and made me think of individual awards to be given next year. I had the students wear the tshirts and their enthusiasm and pride took off. Gateway School will definately be a part of the action next year as well.
