Cornell Cleanup
Join your neighbors and our business partners for the twice-yearly Cornell Cleanup. Cedar Mill is where you work and perhaps where you live. Twice a year, the Cedar Mill Business Association asks the community to help clear the sidewalks of debris, weeds, and trash from the center of Cedar Mill on Cornell Road. “Take pride in your place of employment,” says Joanne Hollister, member of the Downtown Beautification Committee of the CMBA. You’ll be treated to our local Poppa’s Haven’s coffee, and donuts from our good friends at Donuts Plus. Please make a difference and show pride in our Cedar Mill community. For more information, contact Joanne Hollister 503-701-4005. Groups welcome!
