Lake Carey Trash Dash – April 18 (Rain date April 25)

Meet on Indian Spring Road between 8:30–8:45am.

Coffee, zucchini bread, quick assignments, and we’ll head out by 9:00am.

We’ll divide up sections of roadway around the lake and take care of the little things that accumulate over winter- mostly cans, bottles, and cigarette butts. Trash bags will be available. Gloves are helpful if you have them.

With Earth Day just around the corner, it’s a good excuse to give the lake roads a quick spring cleanup!
