It was a beautiful day to pick up litter along the Hwy 305/Hwy 3 interchanges. We have a new, fearless leader in Gretchen Dunmire. She led 10 Lions and a volunteer today. This service project took 35 hours to complete and filled 46 bags!

 

Our Lions clean up these areas every quarter. In addition, we pick up litter on Viking Way every 6 months.
