Street Sweeping Scheduled to Start

1. Street sweeping: After several delays, street sweeping is scheduled to start today on Beacon Hill. It will start in the Back Bay on April 1. 

2. Volunteers wanted: The annual Boston Shines community cleanup is scheduled for Saturday, April 27. Every year, about 5,000 volunteers come together to help plant flowers, sweep, rake and pick up trash around the city. Register now as a volunteer or register your business or organization to help with the event.

3. Scholarship deadline: April 1 is the deadline to apply for the Greater Boston Real Estate Board’s scholarship program. GBREB will award more than $100,000 in scholarships to about 60 students from 54 cities and towns including the North End. Scholarships will be based on financial need, academic achievement, leadership, extra-curricular involvement and written essays. To apply, visit www.uaspire.org. Awards will range from $1,000 to $5,000 per student and will be guaranteed for two years.
