Great American River Clean Up @ SLP by Kathy

The GARCU on September 18th 2021 was a great success in part because of Betsy’s hard work in organizing everyone to get to SLP early before all the guests came to enjoy a wonderful day on the beach.  There was not one cigarette butt, bottle cap or dog remains on the beach!  Great job everyone. (Be sure to look at the "Before & After Photos at the bottom of this post!)

When I arrived, Jesus was hard at work with the Power Washer and Betsy was hard at it scrubbing stubborn dirt and stains:

Betsy informed me a small group of ladies just left to go into the City Corp Yard to pick up trash.  When I arrived there (my first time being in the yard) I could not believe the amount of trash near the fence.

Per Betsy: Special thanks to Our "Corp Yard Trash Busters" who are:  Kathleen, Alicia, Bea, Deborah and Paul. Their willingness and hard work are the reason FOSL is considering taking on this many weeks long effort. Thanks again!

The group worked very hard to pick up as much as they could:

By the time I was ready to leave, I was amazed at how much better this area looked!!

Thank you everyone for all your hard work!! Additional photos of the before and after look at this location have been added below.
