Volunteers sought for 17th annual RiverSweep


Be a BRAT! Come get dirty to help get the Black River cleaner. Join the 17th Annual RiverSweep on Saturday, September 10th between 8am and noon, with the Black River Action Team.

Bring some elbow grease and wear your junk clothes, and get to one of our two HQ tables: Springfield volunteers should sign in at the Citizens Bank drive up in the Shopping Plaza; folks closer to Ludlow should sign in at the gazebo in the town green on Main St near the library.

Work-gloves and trash bags will be available from the Connecticut River Watershed Council, along with snacks and drinking water. Pick a location to work, grab a buddy and head out. Return to HQ with your treasures by 11am to be photographed, clean up and enjoy a free lunch courtesy of our local sponsors: Young's Furniture and Appliance and Goodman's American Pie in Ludlow.

Don't forget to pick up your commemorative tee shirt, the BRAT's way to say 'thank you' for your hard work! For more information log onto www.BlackRiverActionTeam.org or leave a message at 802-738-0456.
