I have been involved with the Waterway Cleanup in some capacity for a long time.

We are looking forward to a great turn out, and ofcourse I will be participating.

I will be around the new river early 0800 and Harbor Towne by 1000. Then the party at whisky creek by 1400.

There are a bunch of locations for everybody to get involved!
