We are going to be picking up trash for Volunteer Frederick's Big Sweep (http://www.volunteerfrederick.org/bigsweep/index.html). Tons of volunteers get together to get sponsors ($$) to pick up trash in the Fred. Co. area. This year my team is raising money for the Frederick County Humane Society (http://www.firstgiving.com/pickofthelitter). Any help would be appreciated! Maybe next year we could raise funds to help out the community garden!
ReplyDeleteThe Big Sweep is a great local event! Best of luck to you!
