December 26, 2017
Volunteers are needed to help keep Scottsdale’s Scenic Drive Special.
Get in the picture and The Peak. Cindy Lee and Peter Cherry will be taking photographs of volunteers making a difference. The Scenic Drive roadside cleanup is Saturday, January 27th from 8:00 to 9:45 A.M.
The inaugural volunteer breakfast was so well received that Cavalho’s Brazilian Kitchen is once again inviting volunteers to enjoy a complimentary light breakfast following the cleanup.
It’s fun!

Picking up litter is more enjoyable than you would expect, and there will be at least 13 miles of roadside (6 1/2 miles on each side) that will look terrific. New volunteers are welcome. Join 20-30 other Friends of the Scenic Drive volunteers. Friends has two sign-in locations:
#1. northern Scenic Drive entry sign (located roadside on the west side of Scottsdale Road south of Carefree Highway, immediately south of Terravita Marketplace and Walgreen’s),
#2. Scenic Drive monument sign area, also referred to as the exhibit area, (located in pull-off on east side of Scottsdale Road 3/4 mile north of Happy Valley Road, 1/4 mile south of Jomax Road, across from MacDonald’s Ranch). Safety vests, pickup “sticks,” and plastic trash bags will be provided.
Complimentary coffee, and water are available. Gloves and long pants are recommended. When you sign-in you will be assigned a specific roadside area to cover.
We will also be taking photos of volunteers at work during the cleanup. These photos will be used for an article that will be published in The Peak.
