Avid community volunteer Barry Krebs submitted the following report with photos about Boy Scout Troop #22 and the South Cobb Lions Club lending a hand during Keep Cobb Beautiful’s annual Bring One for the Chipper:

Keep Cobb Beautiful (KCB) appreciates Boy Scout Troop #22 and the South Cobb
Lions Club for volunteering removing Christmas Trees from cars as they drive
through the Home Depot on the East West Connector.  As part of the KCB Bring
One For The Chipper event, these trees will be ground up by a huge chipper.
The mulch will be available to any Cobb County citizen.  We also appreciate
Home Depot for their hospitality and willingness to dedicate part of their
parking lot for this worthy cause.
