500 LBS OF TRASH

Grand Island Rotary moved its annual May cleanup along the Beaver Island Parkway back into April to match efforts for the District and Great Lakes Watershed Cleanup. Yes, the effort included 8 GI Rotarians, but the real help was over 30 students from the UB Rotaract Club and Grand Island High School Interact Club, (plus help from Mother Nature providing a warm, pleasant day after some snow just 3 days before). At least 500 lbs. of trash was collected; the effort coordinated with a Town of Grand Island / Earth Day cleanup to emphasize Rotary’s contribution to both local and area-wide efforts.
 
Grand Island Rotary has been performing ‘Adopt-a-Highway’ cleanup along Beaver Island Parkway for over 25 years and especially appreciates the help of all those students this year.
