****PLEASE NOTE***

******************
The Earlewood Neighborhood will be cleaning up River Drive and Sunset Drive. We’d love to have you come out and have some good clean fun!
We will meet at 9 am at the upper ball fields at Earlewood Park at the intersection of Earlewood and Northwood.
Keep the Midlands Beautiful will supply bags, gloves, and grabbers. However, if you have your own gloves or grabbers, feel free to bring those too.
After we gather, we will walk down to Sunset Drive, where our clean up efforts will focus. Because Sunset does not have sidewalks, we will have police escorts surrounding us as we clean! Sgt. Hicks said he would send 5-6 officers to help keep us safe. I estimate we will finish up around 11 am. The City will pick up our collected bagged trash on their run during the week.
As my Grandma Violet says, “Many hands make light work.” So let’s get together Saturday, March 9 and make light work of getting Sunset looking great!!
