Here are some basics about the trash pick up tomorrow, if you're new to this. Shenandoah county pays organizations like ours to clean county roads that aren't already adopted. If your family would like to do a road near your house and add to our total, let me know so I can register it and give you the bags. We have some orange vests, but if you have blaze orange or yellow clothing, go ahead and bring it. We encourage long pants, long-sleeve shirts, and tick protection. We plan to have an adult with each group of kids as well as pilot cars with flashers on wherever we can. Kids love to pick up trash, it's usually a good fundraiser, and we're doing a good service at the same time.

As a reminder, our Trash Pick Up Fundraiser is Wednesday April 1st at 4:30 PM. Please comment below if your 4-Her will be attending so we have enough supplies. The club will provide vests, gloves, water and pizza. Please bring a grabber if you wish to have one!

We can’t wait to see you all!
