Earth Week Bingo

Hello fellow South Milwaukeans!

I am so excited to announce a branch of Strong Towns Milwaukee focused on taking care of our community in a much needed way! A group of us came together to form the first (hopefully annual) Earth Week Bingo!

The week will begin on 4/18/2026 and end on 4/26/2026! There are a variety of activities that will we be asking you to do throughout the week if you decide to participate! You can do this individually or with family, friends, or heck a big group! Each bingo will get you entered into a drawing to win from a variety of gift cards from our local businesses. In order to be considered for the drawing, winners must be prepared to show photos. We will also be making an up-cycled ‘trashiest trophy’ with items that you have collected throughout the week! We would love to incorporate a single piece of trash that you find most interesting in the trophy! Bingo card are available here on this post, on a variety of social media platforms, as well as in person at several businesses located throughout our community!

Winners will be announced on May 2nd and prizes will be given out at the next Strong Towns meeting on May 7th at Virtue and Valor! You do not have to be in person at this meeting, however the announced winners will get to choose from a variety of gift cards, whereas if you are not able to make the meeting but win, you may be given a prize at random!

We hope that this is the beginning of a strong and passionate group of people who are interested in caring for our community! Below is the Bingo Card, as well as our first collaborative post with the Friends of Grant Park about the first Grant Park Beach clean up! We are so excited to participate in community in this way and I can’t wait to start seeing pictures of neighbors caring for our community as I know many of you already do!

Community Pride: Celebrate Earth Day With a South Milwaukee Cleanup

South Milwaukee is celebrating Earth Day a couple weeks late … but with the same commitment to cleaning up the community.

The South Milwaukee Earth Day event is planned for Saturday, April 30, from 9 a.m. to noon. Clean-up stations where you can pick up trash bags will be at the following locations:

  • South Milwaukee City Hall;
  • The southwest corner of 16th and Rawson Avenues;
  • The southwest corner of Oak Creek Parkway and North Chicago Avenue; and
  • The South Milwaukee Fire Department.

Lunch will be served at the South Milwaukee Senior Center adjoining City Hall after the clean-up.

Bring your family, friends, groups or organizations to this great event, organized by fellow 4th District Alderman David Bartoshevich. I’ll be at the 16th and Rawson meeting point, looking to clean up Oak Creek with other area residents. Join me!
