Around the Islands: Graffiti cleanup

Special thanks to Jeff Elliott of Seafix for donating the water blaster and Marianas Insurance Association for their donation from last year, which makes it possible for ISK8 to purchase Elephant Snot.

Elephant Snot is applied to the graffiti prior to water blasting, making it easier to remove the graffiti.

ISK8 will be setting up its quarterly graffiti removal calendar and hopes to be able to include removing graffiti from other locations too, such as the Japanese cultural center installed by the mayor’s office across the street from the skatepark.

If you are interested in volunteering or looking for more information about this event, contact ISK8 Ppesident, Johanna Arellano at [email protected].

If you are interested in joining the Beautify CNMI graffiti abatement community project, contact Laurie Peterka at [email protected] or Tyler Yoshimoto at [email protected].

The next committee meeting will be held Monday, Sept. 14, 5:30 p.m. at Whispering Palms School on Navy Hill.
