Have you signed up yet? Swing by The Marketplace & get on the list!
Stephanie & Jana & a zillion others are doing it (they sent the info below) – pick a group to work with & let’s spiff this place up! Here’s how you can help:
The party is on! It’s the Great Island Cleanup calling all able bodied islanders to come out and clean our roads and beaches! Join service groups, organizations, parks, individuals, churches, schools and businesses by showing up this Saturday, April 9!
Sign up for a section of road or a beach at the Kiosk at Market Place now till 6:00pm on April 8th. If you would prefer to work with a group that has already adopted a particular area, you can sign up for that instead.
If you can’t sign up in person, call Lori Stokes at 378-4643 to sign up for a road (call to find out where!) or Jana Marks at 378-2319 to adopt your favorite beach (listed below).
Picking up litter in small groups is much more fun, so gather some friends or family members and make a party out of it! Let’s all join together and pretty up our island for a beautiful spring!
