A
Dream Come True
Last
April, a few people in the community
decided to hold a town meeting
at Cambria Heights High School
to see if they could organize
efforts to make Patton a nicer
place to live. To their
surprise, about 50 people showed
up at that meeting. The
group continued to meet and
make plans to improve the appearance
of main street Patton and in
May of 2002 they held their
first community clean up day.
Over 50 people showed
up to paint, weed, scrub, and/or
sweep. Others showed up
with food and drink for all
of the volunteers. What
an exciting day.
Since
that first meeting, the group
has become a nonprofit organization,
naming themselves the Patton
Pavers. They are planning a
BIG 4th of July Celebration
at the Patton Park for the entire
community. Since the 4th
falls on a Friday, we are hoping
that EVERYONE will make this
one of the biggest community
events that the town has ever
seen. Contact your friends
and family who have moved away
and have them make plans to
join in on our first community
celebration.

CLEAN-UP DAYS
Tentatively
we have chosen the following

August 23rd for community clean-up
days of the downtown area. Rain
dates are for the following
Sat. We will use this
time to weed, sweep, paint,

food or drink to help make Patton
cleaner.
