Adopt-A-Road

Please help with this annual clean-up of our streets. Volunteers are needed to walk designated streets in the neighborhood to pick up road-side trash. No commitment is too small. It’s a good way to get your children involved in a community project and make our neighborhood a little nicer. The county provides the bright orange vests, hard hats, gloves and bags!!! Pick up yours at the tennis courts from 9 – 2:00.
To sign up or get info call Miriam at 427-1681 or e-mail at newsletter@mirrormont.org .
