and Surrounding Neighborhood

WHAT:   More than 500 students, teachers and volunteers from
        Belmont and surrounding communities will roll up their
        sleeves, grab brooms, mops, paint brushes and shovels, making
        a clean sweep of Belmont High School's campus. Besides the
        massive clean up effort, volunteers will enjoy a morning of
        food, music and good company, as they join together to show
        their commitment and neighborhood pride. Participants include
        the Belmont ROTC, Central City Action Committee,
        Salvadoran-American Leadership and Educational Fund (SALEF),
        California Teachers Association (CTA), as well as LA
        Councilmember, Eric Garcetti, District 13. Eliminating one of
        the major sources of campus pollution, RecovrX Industries will
        utilize its revolutionary gum removal system to rid the campus
