Great American Cleanup is NEXT SATURDAY!
|
Next Saturday, March 25, KDB will hold the annual Great American Cleanup, Denton's largest and longest-running litter cleanup and beautification event. GAC mobilizes more than 2,000 Denton citizens each year to improve the beauty and health of the Denton community.
Denton's 29th Annual Great American Cleanup begins at 9 a.m., with volunteers cleaning assigned locations citywide. The network of cleanups will then be followed by a Volunteer Appreciation Party at the Denton Civic Center from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., with free lunch for volunteers, live music, kids' bounce houses, and more. Lunch is generously provided by Fuzzy's Taco Shop, Mellow Mushroom, and In-N-Out Burger. Denton council member, Dalton Gregory, will be present to thank volunteers during the Appreciation Party.
