Westport Parks and Recreation organized their annual Clean-up Westport Day on Saturday, April 24th.  They asked VFW Post 399 to help and organize trash clean-up on Riverside Ave from MCA to Treadwell Ave.  VFW Post 399 and Auxiliary superbly assembled an “All Hands“ working party to help clean-up the neighborhood.  Our “All Hands” working party included the Norwalk Neighborhood Improvement team who provided the necessary equipment for everyone.  Remember, we are committed to veterans, families of veterans, and the community in which we live.  A special thanks to everyone who helped make the event a huge success!
