clean up, clean up, everybody everywhere!

(Edit, March 19)
DATE CHANGE! Keep Lafayette Beautiful is postponing the Evangeline Thruway cleanup due to the threat of thunderstorms this weekend! We will meet up next Saturday, March 28, instead; same time, same place!

---------------------------------------------------------------

Looking for a way to flex your volunteering muscle? Well then, mark your calendars! Save the date! Hit me up!

Keep Lafayette Beautiful is getting ready for its first project of the year, a cleanup along Evangeline Thruway from Tissington St. to Cameron St. The cleanup will focus on clearing off the overgrown sidewalks so they are functional and presentable and cutting back brush. Wield a weed-eater! Be an expert on edging! Help make the Thruway's sidewalks look decent!

All supplies will be provided. But if you've got a pair of work gloves, you're more than welcome to bring them!

The cleanup is going down on Saturday, March 28 at 7:30 a.m. Yes, you can get up that early. It's just for a few hours. Bring your coffee in a reusable mug. You'll get some exercise, a lot of steps for your Fitbit, possibly a new Facebook profile photo, and a happy heart from volunteering. Then you can go back to bed (but I'd suggest taking a shower first).

I'm honored to be a Keep Lafayette Beautiful board member, so if you're interested in participating, let me know by emailing or Facebook messaging me so we can get a head count in advance. Let's see if we can get a huge group of people who care about keeping Lafayette beautiful for both residents and visitors.
