Flint River Cleanup June 6--mark your calendar!

Our annual spring cleaning of the Flint River is held in honor of the National American Rivers Week. On Saturday, June 6th, 2009, volunteers will meet at either the Publix parking lot in Hampton Cove or the Publix parking lot on Winchester Road. Our meeting place will depend on which part of the river we will clean. Please check back in mid May for final details! If you wish to join us, you can do so as a canoeist, a kayaker, or a landlubber. Our landlubbers like to keep their feet on terra firma, so they will clean up at the bridge crossings in groups. FRCA will have light snacks for all of our volunteers and we will have a BBQ cook out after the paddle! Please bring your own water. This is the first time in many years we have held a cook-out after a river cleanup, so come out to make this a splash to remember! If you'd like to join us, please call Soos Weber at 427-5116 or send an email to flintriverconservation@gmail.com by Wednesday, June 3rd so we can make sure we have enough canoes and food!

If you have any questions, just send an email to flintriverconservation@gmail.com.

Hope to see you on June 6!
