Keep
Brockton Beautiful Day
2007 |
Sometimes, most times creating positive change in a
community starts with a simple idea from a few
people who champion the cause to inspire others.
In the City of Champions one of these causes is the
annual tradition of Keep Brockton Beautiful Day –
an effort inspired by politicians, the DPW, and the
every day Brocktonian. Through leadership of the
City Council, the support of the Mayor's Office and
the efforts of the DPW and nearly a thousand
Brocktonians the annual "Keep Brockton Beautiful
Day" is alive and well
