10/26/2006: "San Juan Island Annual Roadside Cleanup Starts"

( Rotarian Jack McKenna helps Matt Pranger pick a roadway to clean of litter)

SJI Kiwanis, Lions, Rotary, and Soroptimist clubs have organized a roadside cleanup, and are asking for volunteers to help pickup litter next to county roads. The idea is simple and creative: volunteers mark on a SJI road map a section of the road they will pickup trash from, put it in a bag, and then call SJC Public Works, who will swing by and pickup and dispose of the bag. The program runs from now unit the end of the month.

The map, and all of the materials one needs to do the job, can be found at a table next to the door at the Market Place grocery store in Friday Harbor. The table is manned by service club members and Public Works, who will assist in citizens in locating and marking sections of the road they agree to cleanup, and will provide them with gloves, bags and instructions -Oh, and also a certificate for free popcorn from the Popcorn Lady. Stop by the table and see if you would like to help. Good excise and a good deed, is a good idea.
