November 13th Neighborhood Cleanup

Our next neighborhood cleanup will be on Saturday, November 13th. It will be a little different than a cleanup, though. Volunteers will be canvassing the neighborhood, inspecting the sidewalks - identifying areas that need to be replaced, any that need to be edged, or low-hanging limbs that need to be cut. This will be huge a step in beautifying our neighborhood.

Volunteers will meet at Scott and Fred's house at 5218 Braddock Avenue at 9am. Maps and forms will be distributed and areas will be assigned. Look forward to seeing lots of volunteers on Saturday!

July 17th Neighborhood Cleanup

There will be a neighborhood cleanup on Saturday, July 17th from 9am to 10am. Instead of picking up trash along Attaway and Filbin Creek, we plan to spruce up our two neighborhood signs - the Cameron Terrace sign near the Armory and the Oak Park sign on Braddock Avenue. We plan to do some touch-up painting on the signs, trimming and cleaning up plants and mulching. We hope to see you there.

CTOP Wins 2nd Place Sweepshots Award

At last Thursday's City Council meeting, Keep North Charleston Beautiful presented awards to the winners of its Sweepshots photo contest that took place during Clean Cities Sweep. First place went to Forest Hills 1, second place went to Cameron Terrace/Oak Park Civic Club and third place went to the Pepperhill Civic Club. Our treasurer, Jenion Tyson, attended the meeting and accepted the certificate and $100 check on behalf of our neighborhood.

2010 Clean Cities Sweep

Despite the likelihood of rain, almost a dozen CTOP residents gathered near Filbin Creek on the morning of April 24th for a neighborhood cleanup. This event was organized with support from Keep North Charleston Beautiful as part of Clean Cities Sweep 2010. KNCB provided supplies, including trash bags, gloves and safety vests, as well as funds for a cookout afterward.

Members of our civic club, as well as Zone Officer Allen Cooke and SPEED Team Officer Sam Souther, were on hand to pick up trash, including bottles, cans, tires, shopping carts and even a toilet. The refrigerator volunteers found will have to wait until another time.

Two more cleanups of Filbin Creek are scheduled for July 17th and November 6th - both are Saturdays. Please join us! For a slideshow of the cleanup, click here.

2010 Clean Cities Sweep

The Cameron Terrace Oak Park Civic Club is planning a neighborhood cleanup on Saturday, April 24th. The cleanup will focus on the Filbin Creek area of Attaway Street. It will will begin at 9am and end around 11am. Trash bags and gloves will be provided. We will also have water, but we ask that volunteers bring their own cups. We don't want to generate any more trash than we need to. Volunteers can park either along Attaway near East Dolphin or under I-526.

The cleanup will be a part of the 2010 Clean Cities Sweep, co-sponsored by Keep North Charleston Beautiful. There will be a before and after photo contest, which our neighborhood has won before. Also there will be a cookout at noon following the cleanup at 5218 Braddock Avenue. For before and after photos of our last cleanup, click here.
