Volunteers Join Queen Mill Road Adopt-A-Mile Cleanup Effort

Avid community volunteer Barry Krebs submitted the following report with photos about the Queen Mill Neighbors Adopt-A-Mile letter cleanup:

The Queen Mill Neighbors conducted their quarterly Adopt-A-Mile litter
cleanup of the two-mile stretch of Queen Mill Road.  With help from their
friends, a new volunteer, David, and the South Cobb Lions Club, they were
able to remove 15 bags of litter from this beautiful neighborhood as well as
have fun visiting with the volunteers. 

If you or your neighbors would like to also have a gorgeous community, you
can contact Dawn at keepcobbbeautiful@cobbcounty.gov and Dawn can have your
signs placed on each end of the mile and provide you with your supplies such
as orange bags, grabbers and safety vests.
