This is from reader Samantha Pangrazio:
The Oakfield Community Earth Day Clean-Up will host its third annual event April 21. This is an event where members of the community gather together to clear the roadsides of debris that is not only unsightly, but harmful to our environment.
This year, I am interested in making the event more appealing to all residents, especially school-aged kids and teenagers. One way to accomplish this is by supplying each participant with a complementary T-shirt and also by creating contests that would reward the winner of each category with a small donation from local businesses.
If you would like to help us out, please contact Samantha Pangrazio at <sjpangrazio94@hotmail.com>.
The Oakfield Community Earth Day Clean-Up is an opportunity for residents who, like me, have a deep-seated love and appreciation for our beautiful town and village.
Our first annual Oakfield Community Earth Day Clean-Up occurred two years ago on April 24, 2010. This was something that I decided to create because of the wonderful volunteering opportunity that it created for individuals and also because of the increasing amount of people who have become oblivious to the damaging effects that trash is creating in our communities.
Due to the total number of participants who pitched in these past two years and the beautiful results that occurred, I would like to continue this experience for individuals interested in keeping our environment healthy.
Thank you.
Year after year, it is so
Year after year, it is so encouraging to see people of all ages participate in this event. Everyone is so proud of what a score of people can accomplish in a few short hours. Best of all: free t shirt and lunch are included! See you at 9AM at Oakfield-Alabama high school parking lot!
