Adopt-A-Spot Pick Up Day Saturday, May 9
As part of the continued campaign to keep Lake Charles beautiful (KLB), the City of Lake Charles, and Team Green SWLA will team up for the semi-annual Adopt-A-Spot Pick Up Day. This citywide event will take place on Saturday, May 9 and begin at 8 a.m. pretty much until each area has been cleaned up.
Through the Adopt-A-Spot program, individuals, neighborhood groups, civic organizations and businesses can get in on the action, greening and beautifying parks, shorelines, to cleaning storm drains, streets, clearing trails and cleaning-up other public spaces. It's a lot of hard, but rewarding work. Shouts out to the volunteers! This program has adopted more than fifty sites around Lake Charles so far.
FYI, Pick Up day happens twice each year and has proved to be very successful, with more and more people coming out to help. Eligha Guillory, Jr., Asst. City Administrator and Team Green Liaison said of the event,
“The City of Lake Charles appreciates the efforts of the community to keep spaces clean in the interest of public health and wellness,” he added “With enough volunteers, this is a great way to clean up the entire city on one Saturday morning.”
