Volunteers Log 420 Hours for Great American Cleanup

On Saturday, April 25th, a record number of 105 volunteers showed up bright and early to help clean up trash along the river and roadways of Rabbit Hash and Belleview. In Rabbit Hash there were Cub Scouts, Girl Scouts, mothers with small children, senior citizens, and even a man with a broken arm cleaning up the river bank!
