Some of my friends on the Mira Mesa Rec Council hooked us up the the Mira Mesa HEREOS and they will clean up "the pile"! The Rec Council will pay for the dump fees. Volunteers helping volunteers. Win-Win! No response from anyone at Parks and Rec or the city. There's a surprise...
I did get a response from Ken Nakamaya who works for Representative Scott Peters. Oh yea, I know who ALL our representatives, council members and their reps and wanna be's are.
Mira Mesa Hereos are the ones in charge of repainting at the schools, the electrical boxes and yes... that horrible mural that was on the new Casa Mira View Apartments.
I copied this from their website:
What’s missing in your life? If it’s a sense of belonging, friendship, “giving back” to society or community camaraderie, we have the place for you – your community’s HEROES (“Hometown Efforts to Rescue Our Endangered Society”)(a 501c3 nonprofit organization). Simply put it’s neighbors helping less fortunate neighbors.
Our group’s main goal is to target MM community persons and organizations, which need physical/fix-it-up support, through a collaborative team comprised of local organizations, businesses and individuals – all to improve our collective community environment and spirit…. through one person/location at a time…
The main objectives are: (1) what’s doable with a small team in under 4 hours on a Saturday morning, (2) set support and task priorities: safety, health, convenience, (3) support the most effective efforts/results – which are geared towards cleaning and painting, (4) ensuring the recipients are aware of available support / life-lines… and (5) having an enjoyable time helping others!!!
Like I said, volunteers helping volunteers. Win-Win!
It is what it is...
Namaste
