A THANK YOU, plus an invitation to help keep Scottsdale beautiful.
First, a big thank you to all the volunteers who helped with October’s cleanup. GPPA’s Cindy Lee photograph some of you and you will find her photographs below. She will have camera in-hand at the next cleanup capturing images of Scenic Drive volunteers, so we invite you to get in the picture and help keep Scottsdale beautiful. Scroll down to view Cindy’s photographs.
The Invitation
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. Friends of Scenic Drive, one of the founding groups, has part of Scottsdale’s Adopt-A-Road Program in 1996. Snowbird, visitor or full-time resident – it matters not – you are welcome and important to our environment. The cleanup takes only two hours, from 8:00 – 10: a.m. on January 11, 2020.
