Neighbor to Neighbor clean-up effort proves to be a success
A “flash mob” got the job done. On Aug. 19, Saturday morning, thirty-six Rector heroes banded together as a Neighbor 2 Neighbor work crew that swarmed specific locations in need of some curb appeal spruce up.

The original purpose of Neighbor 2 Neighbor was fulfilled – helping those neighbors across Rector who, for various reasons, have been unable to maintain their yards.
