Here is the press release from Jesse Bohlin, Boilers in Action:

Hello and Good Afternoon Friends in Greater Lafayette/ Neighbors!

I hope this email finds you well. We are emailing you as a part of Boilers in Action, a student program that trains students to coordinate meaningful community engagement. We are coordinating SpringBlast, a program you have participated in with Purdue students in the past.

SpringBlast is a day of service dedicated to serving our neighbors. Our goal is to connect Purdue students and residents in making a more united community. SpringBlast was established in order to make that possible.

More information will be given closer to the event, with the goal that we make this process as easy and clear for you as possible.

BoilerBlast and CleanSweep 2014 a Success

April 6, 2014 Zachary Baiel 1 Comment

If you looked out your window or went for a walk around our neighborhood on the morning of Saturday, April 5th, you would have seen dozens of Purdue students (thanks to the Civic Engagement and Leadership Development), working alongside neighbors, to get the streets, sidewalks, yards, and alleys in a better state for the upcoming Spring season.

One component that weekend was the annual CleanSweep program. We picked up over 21 bags of garbage (thank you Jeff for the truck!) and thanks to the West Lafayette Street and Sanitation Department, we disposed of them safely.

Thanks to everyone who helped make this neighborhood collaboration with Purdue University and the City a huge success.

We are working with the team at Purdue to make it even better. If you have any thoughts, please send them our way.
