Two weeks ago, I had the opportunity to participate with other Latina Bloggers/Bloggeras and Pine-Sol to help clean up the LA River.

The LA River Day in its 22nd year, gathers together members from the community to help clean  and revitalize the Los Angeles River. Thousands  of community volunteers came together and helped clean up trash from the  actual river and the surroundings walkways. Mayor Villaraigosa was also there to lend a hand.

I had the opportunity to pick up trash with my blogging buddy Ericka. We had a great time chatting and  being able to help in the clean up. There were various booths along the way with information on how to get involved and there were also activities for the kiddos. It was a great way to help the entire family involved in volunteering. Next year, I want to make sure we can participate and bring along the entire family.

Pine-Sol helped sponsor the event and donated to the Girls Today Women Tomorrow mentoring program, which also volunteered at the event.  The day finished with live entertainment by Ozomatli. I made a little video that captured some of the day below.

It was a great event and I was thrilled that Pine-Sol invited me to this amazing day.
