Posted on Oct 30, 2006 Streets and parks were beautified Saturday as an assortment of groups volunteered to help in their community for Make a Difference Day in Salinas. More than 150 volunteers – 50 of them CSUMB students – took over Soledad Street in Salinas' Chinatown for five hours in an effort to beautify a deteriorating part of the city. Seth Pollack, director of CSUMB's Service Learning Institute, said he liked how much the community had come together to work toward a common goal.
