Mayor announces spring cleanup schedule and upcoming community events

As the sun begins to warm the streets of South Charleston, city officials gathered to discuss upcoming community events that promise to bring residents together. The atmosphere buzzed with anticipation as Mayor and department heads outlined a series of activities aimed at fostering community spirit and engagement.

One of the highlights on the calendar is the spring cleanup scheduled for May 3 in the West End and May 10 in the East End. Residents are encouraged to participate from 8 AM to 1 PM, a chance to spruce up their neighborhoods and take pride in their surroundings. This initiative not only promotes cleanliness but also strengthens community bonds as neighbors come together for a common cause.

In addition to the cleanup, the city is gearing up for the Gerry Olympics, set to take place next Friday at the Recreation Center. This event promises to be a fun-filled day of friendly competition, showcasing the talents of local athletes. Following the Olympics, a martial arts tournament will be held on Saturday, further highlighting the diverse activities available to residents.

As the meeting progressed, officials also mentioned the upcoming kids consignment sale, scheduled for later in May. This event will provide families with an opportunity to buy and sell gently used items, fostering a sense of community while supporting local families.

These events reflect the city’s commitment to creating a vibrant and engaged community. As South Charleston prepares for these activities, residents can look forward to a season filled with camaraderie, competition, and connection.
