Sometimes it’s just good to pick up a broom and a rake and get to work. That is what a host of Long Island Realtors did recently at the Hagedorn Community Center in the Manhasset-Great Neck area. The group, all in navy blue T-shirts with a big "R" emblazoned on the pocket, did some spring cleaning and mulch moving for the community center.
The effort was part of Change the World – Start at Home, an HGTV community revitalization project with Rebuilding Together LI, the National Trust of Historic Preservation and the Natural Resources Defense Council. The center was built as a public school in 1929.
After the brooming and raking, the good-sized group took a rest and a picture on a center lawn.
