Please come out this Saturday, May 14th, for our regular monthly cleanup on the “UUSS mile” of the American River Parkway! If you have not been out with us in a while, come out and help maintain our beautiful jewel with your efforts!!!!

We meet on the second Saturday of every month between 8:45-9:00AM in the parking lot, next to the levee, at the end of Northrop Avenue, off Howe Avenue, behind Panera. We sign in; trash bags are issued and new folks are oriented. We then spend one hour removing trash from the UU Mile. We meet back next to the levee stairway at 10:00 AM for a photograph of our crew and the results of our efforts. Afterward, many of us continue the fun at Panera with refreshments and conversation. Remember to wear good shoes, your ARPF Steward shirts if you have one, bring gloves and water to hydrate, consider masking if you deem it appropriate, perhaps a “grabber”, and your volunteer spirit…. this Saturday morning looks to be sunny with a high of 92 degrees

One of our Soul Matters groups will be coming out to assist us in the clean up. We look forward to the help and good company.

Looking forward to seeing you soon,

Eric Ross, Mile Steward
