The same likely suspects came out for September's clean up of Heritage Mtn. Blvd. Great to see everyone wearing the ROTARY vests that are very visible to the public and for safety.
Thank you to Alan S for always organizing. If you would like to come and help any month, we meet at Gallaghers Coffee Shop in Newport Village at 8:55 am and leave 'exactly' at 9:00 AM to head up the hill and clean up trash. Once we are finished we meet back at Gallaghers for a coffee and visit. The second Saturday of every month......Be there to help. You will enjoy the fresh air and the good feeling of helping keep our community clean.
