The Antioch Police Department is excited to announce the 28th installment of the Neighborhood Cleanup Program.

This is a collaborative community effort which involves active participation from United Citizens for Better Neighborhoods (UCBN), community volunteers, and the Antioch Police Department Crime Prevention Commission; Neighborhood Watch Program, Target Volunteers, Volunteers in Police Service, community volunteers and the Public Works Department.

Collectively, “We”, everyone who works and lives in the City Antioch, can make a difference and improve the quality of life. It’s our community and it’s our chance to make a difference.

The City of Antioch Neighborhood Cleanup program is not just for residential neighborhoods. It is a program that will change venues on a monthly basis and it will include business and commercial areas as well. Neighborhoods that are free of trash and refuse are inviting, and a clean community instills a sense of community pride.

The 28th Neighborhood Cleanup event will occur on Saturday, November 5th from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. Volunteers should report to Gentrytown Park, which is located at 2800 Carmona Way. Ample parking can be found in the parking lot for the park which is located at the east side of the park and accessible from the 1600 block or dead-end of Monterey Drive.

Volunteers will receive instructions and the equipment necessary to accomplish the goal. The targeted area is within walking distance. Excluding inclement weather, future Neighborhood Cleanup events are scheduled for the first Saturday of every month and the locations will be announced in advance.

Remember, cleaning up your neighborhood can make life better for your family, your neighbors and your community!

Through Helping Hands 2011 – Your Cause is Our Cause™, 100 Year Lifestyle Licensed Affiliate chiropractors across the country are banding together this holiday season to support causes in their communities.

During the months of November and December, participating 100 Year Lifestyle Licensed Affiliate chiropractors will be donating their special new patient fees of $25.00 for local, national or global causes of their patients’ choice. From now until December 31st Deer Valley Chiropractic in Antioch will host “Helping Hands 2011 -Your Cause is Our Cause”.

Said Dr. Brandon Roberts, “In addition to helping our patients, this is just one more small way that we can have a ‘hands-on’ impact in supporting important causes.”

Millions of people are diagnosed with conditions that can be caused by problems in the spine and nervous system. One in ten children show signs of disc degeneration on MRI scans.

“Chiropractic care is making a difference for millions of people. I am proud to know that The 100 Year Lifestyle Licensed Affiliates are willing to give back to their communities, especially during these challenging times,” said Dr. Eric Plasker, the best selling author of The 100 Year Lifestyle and organizer of this campaign.

“The direct link between the health of the spine and nervous system and the enhancement of the immune system is now indisputable,” said Dr. Roberts. In a recent study reported in the Chiropractic Research Journal, HIV positive patients, who received regular chiropractic care over a six-month period, experienced a 48% increase in production of immune system cells compared to those who did not receive spinal adjustments.

“Chiropractic can make a difference in the quality of your health on many levels,” said Dr. Roberts.

Because of the input from so many different people, proceeds from “Helping Hands 2011” will benefit many causes. To find out more, please call Deer Valley Chiropractic, 925-757-7571 and/or Dr. Eric Plasker at The Family Practice, Inc. 866-532-3327 x109.
