Decatur,
Al -- All hands are welcome to the Riverwalk Marina to help pick up trash from
the banks of the beautiful Tennessee river. The Riverwalk Yacht Club and
Decatur Parks and Recreation Department are proud to sponser this inaugral
annual event.
“The
Tennessee river provides us with an enormous benefits and this is just a little
way to give something back. Boaters are needed boaters that are willing to
fill up trash bags with garbage collected from the Decatur area
riverbank,” says event organizer and yacht club member, Cecil Chaney.
Volunteers should bring a dip net some old tennis shoes just in case they get a
little wet. At least two people in each boat will be needed for safety
and to maintain a distance from the riverside rocks.
Garbage
bags will be provided.
Chaney
adds, “If you love the river as much as we do then come on out and help. Launch
your boat at 9:00 a.m. on June the 9th and have a great day on the river. We
should finish up by 2:00 p.m. at the marina where we will take a photo of the
filled trash bags and of all volunteers who helped collect them.”
