Many neighborhoods participated in the Great American Cleanup in April, including the Eastview and South Lincoln Park Drive Neighborhood Associations.

The day was capped off with a cook out in the back yard of Vice President Chris Cook's home. Nineteen neighbors helped out with what South Lincoln Park Drive called "Cleaning up the Home Front" for the Great American Cleanup. They collected enough yard waste to fill a large dumpster.
