Cornell students, including members of fraternity and sorority councils, and Collegetown residents will take to the streets of Collegetown on Saturday, Sept. 28, Public Service Day. Activities include cleaning neighborhood sidewalks, streets, utility poles and open spaces.

Volunteers will gather at 10 a.m. in front of Collegetown Motor Lodge, 312 College Ave. From there, teams of students and year-round residents will begin their clean-up effort.

Leading the campaign to get students involved are Jessie Colwill of Kappa Alpha Theta sorority, vice president of the Panhellenic Council, and Chris Weldon of Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity, vice president of the Interfraternity Council at Cornell.

Additional support is being provided by the Collegetown Motor Lodge, WVBR-FM, Collegetown businesses, the city of Ithaca's Department of Public Works and two Cornell offices -- the Dean of Students and Community Relations.

Participation in this event is open to all interested members of the community.
