35 band members and staff from William Penn High School in York, PA spent Friday afternoon, April 15th, cleaning up the Greek, Hebrew and Italian Cultural Gardens thanks to their initiative in seeking out volunteer opportunities in places where they visit, and thanks, too, to Business Volunteers Unlimited, Cleveland, OH for providing the site and service that links volunteers to community service opportunities in the Northern Ohio area.  The Penn group probably holds the record for the most trash and plant matter cleaned up in two hours, so far:  about 1700 cubic feet.  Impressive!  And much appreciated.  Makes a world of a difference in the Gardens for the many sightseers and nearby residents alike who are in the Gardens every day.  See the photo of  ten of the students who worked in the Hebrew Cultural Garden, below.
