The information below comes from our City's paper of record and oldest business (founded in 1912), The Lake Worth Herald:
"Volunteers are needed for the Great American Cleanup effort in Lake Worth on Saturday, April 9th.
Join your neighbors to help clean up the shoreline of Lake Worth Lagoon and Snook Islands area, adjacent to the Lake Worth Municipal Golf Course.
The area is littered with old tires, broken bits of lumber, plastic and paper trash. All are welcome to participate in this cleanup effort spearheaded by Golf Course Shoreline Clean-up April 9 the Kiwanis Club of Lake Worth in conjunction with Keep Palm Beach County Beautiful.
Volunteers will meet at the clubhouse (located at 7th Ave. N. and the Intracoastal) at 8 a.m. You don’t have to be a Kiwanis member to join in the effort, but volunteers must be 18 years old or accompanied by a parent."
Here is more information from the article in the Herald:
- All participants are asked to park in the golf course parking lot the morning of the event.
- Golf carts will be used to shuttle volunteers to the cleanup locations along the length of the shoreline. Plenty of garbage bags and latex gloves will be provided.
- Volunteers should wear old clothes, closed-toed shoes, sunscreen, sunglasses, and hats if possible.
- Keep Palm Beach County Beautiful is assisted locally by the Solid Waste Authority.
