Brighton Clean Sweep May 9 (Item posted on 3/29/09)

You can also just volunteer to help where ever needed. If you can help, please contact the coordinators above.
This is also a great opportunity to get the younger set (your kids, scout troops or youth groups) involved in community service.
The schedule is as follows:
9 a.m.: Kick off at the Town Hall, for instructions, coffee or juice and a bagel
9:30 a.m.: Cleanup of streets, creeks and trails
11:30: Celebration and lunch at French Road Elementary School cafeteria
Since the work is dirty, old clothes and boots for safety are recommended.
Please spread the word for a good turnout.
