Expertly organized by Lion Marilyn Tanner, the event opened with a group breakfast at First Watch. We assembled at Thaiss Park, next to Pickett Road, where the team received safety vests, gloves, picker-uppers, and trash bags.
We concentrated on the wooded area east of Picket road where we found the heaviest concentration of rubbish. It didn’t take long to make a lot of progress. The Lions finished up in about 2 hours, with a lot of refuse to show for the effort.
