Avid community volunteer Barry Krebs submitted the follow report and photos:

The Vinings Cove Homeowners with a little help from representatives from the Mableton Improvement Coalition, Friends Of Mableton and Lions Club removed 15 bags of litter from their adopted Buckner Road. They also removed 10 bags of litter Pebblebrook Road. It was a productive way to start the weekend while getting a little exercise and taking in the nice weather.

If you are interested in the Adopt-A-Mile program, please contact Dawn at keepcobbbeautiful@cobbcounty.gov . She will order your street signs and provide your supplies.
