The next clean-up date is Monday, October 4, 2010
All volunteers are asked to meet in the Village parking lot between Smith's and the Bank of America branch from 8:00 to 8:30 AM. Wear sturdy shoes, bring gloves and bug spray. Vests, picker uppers and bags will be supplied.
This wonderful group of volunteers, headed up by Nancy Strobel, helps beautify the causeway eliminating the unsightly and harmful debris that litters the scenic roadside of Skidaway Island.
The first Monday morning of every month, October through May, members of The Landings Garden Club meet in Skidaway Village to gear up for the important task ahead. The causeway clean-up crew is split up into 10 groups, each assigned a zone between the drawbridge and Ferguson Avenue. Crews search the marsh grass for refuse and stuff the rubbish in bags that are later removed by the GDOT. Volunteers typically collect more that 30 bags of garbage each outing.
