CLEANING UP THE HIGHWAY

Fighting Covid-19 / Rain / State Mowing Schedule! Yes, all the challenges were finally met on June 13th as Grand Island Rotarians and several of their friends cleaned the trash from Beaver Island Parkway.  Although High School Interact Club members were not available to help (with schools closed), they should be available for the fall clean-up.
 
Thanks to all who helped in this effort, some of them in this composite photo. The April issue of The Rotarian was headlined: ‘Death by Plastic’. And there were numerous plastic cups, bottles, assorted trash, along the parkway. At this time, it is inconceivable to perform a Parkway Clean-Up without a large number of plastic bags. Grand Island Rotary will consider every possible alternative in the coming years.
 
Highway cleanup is one of a few activities clubs many clubs do and can keep doing while remaining masked and distanced.
