Just to let everyone know, The cleanup was a success! The lakes are cleaner than ever and less trash was collected....
But let's not stop there! Next year around the first weekend of April '09 there will be another cleanup.
These cleanups WORK. Proof of that is every year we have a bigger and better turnout.... and less and less pounds of trash is found.
Congratulate yourself KRVSA members!
Way to go!!!!
