Parkway Clean-up Begins Again

Spring has been here for some time now, so time to get Parkway looking nice as the grass greens up and the flowers continue their bloom.

Volunteers and Key Clubbers may choose Friday March 30th or Saturday March 31st to clean up a stretch a road on Parkway from Rt. 98 to Sheridan. Whatever doesn't get done on Friday, we'll get done on Saturday with enough volunteers.

On the Saturday the 31st, meet Jeff Brooks at 8am at the entrance to Lick Creek Golf Course for assignments.

We haven't been out there for a few months, so this may be a big cleanup in some areas. Please contact Jeff Brooks with your choice of days so he can keep count of who will be there.
