Dear All,

The snow looked so nice on the ground, and it certainly covered up a lot of  litter!  Have you noticed as the snow was melting how much litter there is?  If you have some free time tomorrow, how about joining me for about an hour or so and let’s get an area cleaned up.  We will be meeting in the parking lot at “The Boathouse Grill” (just east of the corner of 56th Street and High School Road) and pick up basically the area on the north side of 56th Street from I – 465 to I – 65 from 3:30 – 4:45.  The more hands we have, the more we can accomplish.  Come out (the weather sounds great!) and help make a difference in our area.

Can’t help tomorrow?  Still want to make a difference?  Find an area close to you and go out and pick it up.  Every time you do that it is a big help in the overall picture and if more people would do some on their own we would not be having all the litter we see along the roads.

Sincerely,

Janice McHenry

P.S.  Pictures are from our two “Post Thanksgiving” Cleanups.
