Greater Elgin Area
A group of neighbors from Cobblers Crossing in Elgin spent a day cleaning up McKinley School Park 
after the principal requested help.
There was gang graffiti painted all over, so we worked on removing it. The playground was in disrepair and we got that fixed. And we 
did general cleaning of the park.
Some parents from McKinley School made us a Mexican lunch and we spent time getting to know them a bit. Even Elgin’s Mayor and our State Representative, Ruth Munson, stopped by to see what we were doing. It was a great day!
