District Note: 2008 Big Sweep (Thursday, August 28, 2008)

TO PIEDMONT DISTRICT SCOUTERS:

2008 BIG SWEEP WATERWAY CLEANUP

The annual Big Sweep waterway cleanup, coordinated locally by Keep Winston-Salem Beautiful, will be held Saturday, October 4 from 9AM to 12:30PM.
 Last year nearly 4,000 volunteers, including many Scout groups, removed nearly 35,000 lbs. of trash and debris from rivers, creeks, ponds and lakes in Winston-Salem and Forsyth County.  This is an excellent opportunity for Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts to get some service hours, cleanup the environment, and have some fun!  

All supplies will be provided as well as breakfast and lunch!  

Many cleanup locations have already been established and you can pick one of those, or you can establish your own location.  To volunteer please call George M. Stilphen or Kittie Mattox at Keep Winston-Salem Beautiful at 727-8013 or e-mail georges@cityofws.org.  
(George is also Scoutmaster of Troop 719 in Lewisville).
