Patti’s April 21 “Inside New Gloucester” column

Earth Day roadside cleanup

Help the Gray-New Gloucester Optimist Club celebrate Earth Day by pitching in to clean up your neighborhood or wider community. Join club members cleaning up all around the area for one hour on Earth Day, Saturday, April 22, to pickup roadside trash. The rain date is Sunday, April 23. Make your own group of friends and family, pick up a bag and gloves and make an impact.

Participants can register to win a restaurant coupon for a free meal or gift card at one of many participating local restaurants. To register for the coupon drawings, email gng.optimists@gmail.com or call 504-4507. Share your name, town in which you reside and your litter patrol area. You’re invited to submit photos of your Earth Day group for posting on the club’s Facebook page.
