A reminder, the Volunteer Luncheon is April 15, at the Citrus Springs Community Center, 1570 W Citrus Springs Blvd, Citrus Springs. You must RSVP no later than March 31 to 352-527-3703
Lastly, a question: Do you as a Volunteer think CERT should participate in the Adopt a Highway program. CERT would be assigned a stretch of roadway to keep clean. CERT would have a sign erected on this stretch of roadway proclaiming CERT has adopted this stretch of road. CERT would have to have a regular work party to clean trash from the roadway. We do not know how often this work party would be needed.
