Adopt-a-Drain in East Bde Maka Ska: Our neighborhood drain adoption rate has more than doubled to 40%—many thanks to those who are already tending drains! Did you know storm drain street trash pollutes our lakes and rivers? Save your lake—less trash, less leaves, no slime means beautiful lakes. Adopting a storm drain is free, easy to do, and takes only minutes to maintain.
Join Our Board!: There are still board seats open, and we're looking for dedicated neighbors to lead the vision, growth and engagement of our community! There are a variety of skills and expertise needed, so if you're passionate about change, love our neighborhood, and want to connect with neighbors to create progress, we'd love to chat more with you about the existing opportunities for 2025.
