Rotary Mile cleanup Oct. 12

The Roswell Rotary Club has scheduled cleaning up its Rotary Mile along North U.S. 285 starting at 8 a.m. on Oct. 12.

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

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

He said gloves, trash bags, and safety vests will be provided.
