Hello “Adopt a Road” volunteers! Now that I have completed my car show responsibilities 😉, I can move forward on launching the Adopt a Road program. Last week Lee, Jonathan, and Bruce met with a TCB contact to review our selected section of N Oracle Road (W River Road to W Wetmore Road). The first cleanup will begin on Saturday, MARCH 9, 2024. Let’s meet in front of Fiesta Lanes Bowling (on River just west of Oracle) 501 W River Rd., at 7:15 am for a briefing and to hand out the equipment. The March date should give everyone time to plan and attend.
After 6 months of consistent clean-ups, we will receive a sign at the adopted site with our name The Rotary Club of Tucson. We can meet this requirement by cleaning up every other month or so. After each cleanup, we will submit a volunteer report.
Please RSVP to lee@wit2tucson.com
For safety reasons, we are limited to 25 volunteers and NO ONE UNDER 18.
Tools and Supplies
Tucson Clean and Beautiful provides the necessary equipment to conduct the clean up e.g., safety vests, gloves, grabbers, trash bags, etc. I will pick supplies up this week.
You may want to bring your gloves and please bring your own water!
Thank you and YIR, Lee Olitzky, Jonathan Walkup, and Bruce Tunze
