4/5/14 – Keep Midland Beautiful – Great American Clean-Up Day

It’s that time of year again… the Great American Clean-up, and our annual get-together with the Keep Midland Beautiful organization, to help do our part and help to keep our community a more cleaner place to live!    We are hoping that everyone will reserve Saturday, April 5th, for our service project with Keep Midland Beautiful.    We will be cleaning the Windlands Park area, so everyone please try and be there around 9:00 a.m., on Saturday.

Gloves and bags will be provided for everyone, and if you happen to have one of those ‘gopher’ things, then bring it!    It will help to save strain on your back.    Jack Rogers reports that it is usually windy on the clean-up day, so dress accordingly!    KMB also provides bag holders which help to hold the bags open.

Jack has already registered the club with Keep Midland Beautiful, and has arranged to get the special t-shirts that KMB hands out to all the volunteers!    Thanks Jack!    (And did anyone else pick out Jack in the recent KMB advertisement on our local television channels???)   Way to go!

And don’t forget about the annual free lunch that is always prepared for the volunteers.  After the clean-up, everyone will meet at Hogan Park, right off of 1201 East Wadley.   All volunteers are welcome to the hot dogs, chips, cookies, and cold drinks available from 10:30 am to 12:30 pm.

Hope that you and your family can come and enjoy the fellowship and the good feeling you get by helping keep our community a safe and beautiful city!

And remember….   please don’t litter!   We all can make a difference!
