Highway cleanup on Oct. 11

The Roswell Rotary Club has scheduled a cleanup of its Rotary Mile along U.S. 285 north of the overpass beginning at 8 a.m. on Oct. 11.

Club volunteers will meet just before 8 a.m. for coffee and snacks at Mile Marker 116.3, about one mile north of the US 285 overpass.

Gloves, trash bags, and safety vests will be provided.

“It takes an ideal group of 12 people about 1.5 hours to walk our mile on both sides of the highway. Your participation is encouraged to keep our Rotary Mile from being trashy!” said Gordon Patton, highway cleanup chair.
