City collected 87 bags of trash; 261 volunteers sign up

Thanks to everyone for the tremendous turnout!

By Rhonda Loy, City of Columbia Events Planner

We had a great time and made a lot of progress in keeping the city streets clean. We had a total of 60 volunteers picking up a total of 87 bags of trash on Saturday, April 18, 2009.

The groups who participated Saturday were Adair County Middle School (ACMS) Betas, ACMS Ipods, The Garden Club, LIndsey Wilson College ACES club, plus miscellaneous volunteers.

These groups are signed up to help with the clean-up later in the month of April: John Adair 4th Grade and teachers; all of the Head Start Students plus their teachers, ACHS Science Class/Pride Club and their teacher Sheila Willis; Colonial William Casey Pride Club, LWC Bonners Schollars LWC, Amy Wells; and LWC International Students Club.

Mayor Bell and I would like to thank all volunteers who made this year's event a great success.

Since April is Pride Month we are able to schedule groups throughout the month that cannot participate on clean up day. Currently we have several groups and a total of 261 volunteers signed up for cleanups throughout the month. You can still volunteer to help, just call (270) 384-2501.
