White Center Spring Clean
Saturday, May 19, 2007
On Saturday, the Rat City Rollergirls, together with Rat City referees, and friends and family
stopped arguing about which Rat City Rollergirl has the most vicious hip check and picked up brooms and garbage bags
to take part in the fourth annual White Center Spring Clean of Rat City! This year's event
was an amazing success! The special finds for this years roadway cleanup included corn cobs and rubber nipples!

ROADWAY CLEANUP - NOV 5, 2006
The Rat City Rollergirls are at it again! On Sunday, November 5, 2006, the Rollergirls braved the punishing
rain and set out to clean up 16th Ave. SW in White Center. We used the divide and conquer method, starting
in the middle of our section of road and sending out crews in each direction to tackle the trash! When we
regrouped again, we all looked like drowned rats from the rain continued to pour even as we piled up the
bags of roadside rubbish for County crews to collect. Having made a contribution to our community, we
quickly scurried off to Taquerias Guayamas for a supper fit for a Rollergirl!

Rat City Rollergirls help clean up the Hood
Rat City Rollergirl Community Care Organizer,
mommacherry
led the Rat City Rollergirls as they cleaned up their adopted road, 16th Ave. SW in White Center
on Earth Day. The clean up was a huge success, as countless numbers of contractor sized garbage bags
were filled with litter and removed from the area. Afterwards the Rollergirls spent a bit of time
at one of their favorite White Center watering holes,
The Pacific Rim Brewing Company
