Avid community volunteer Barry Krebs submitted the following report with photos about the Atlanta Latino Lions Club’s cleanup of Windy Hill Road in Marietta:
The Atlanta Latino Lions Club conduct their quarterly litter cleanup along their adopted two miles of the very highly visible Windy Hill Road in Marietta. Because of their strong turnout, Windy Hill Road looks impeccable now. As always, the Atlanta Latino Lions had a great time as they worked together to improve our community. Please check them out on Facebook.
If you or your service organization is interested in keeping a road clean, please contact Dawn at keepcobbbeautiful@cobbcounty.org . She will provide you with the information and supplies to keep your mile looking good.
