| Highway cleanup crew |
The Roswell Rotary Club had a very successful highway cleanup day on Oct. 3, picking up trash along U.S. 285 from MM116 to MM117.
The weather was perfect, as were the coffee, doughnuts, and kolaches! Six Rotarians participated in the program: Shawn Powell, JP Cheney, Bianca Cheney, Matt Joy, Steve Smith, and Gordon Patton.
Thanks to everyone for a job well done.

The Roswell Rotary Club will conduct its highway cleanup project on Saturday, Oct. 3.
Participants will meet at Mile Marker 116.3, about 1 mile north of the overpass over U.S. 285 at 8 a.m.
Coffee and doughnuts — as well as gloves, trash bags and safety vests — will be provided.
“It takes an ideal group of 12 people about an hour and a half to clean our mile on both sides of the highway,” said Gordon Patton, the club’s highway cleanup chair. “Your participation is encouraged to keep our mile from being trashy!”
