10th Annual Tri- City Liter Cleanup: Keep on Keeping it Beautiful
Keeping our waterways beautiful takes a community effort. Join volunteers from Dallas, Rowlett, and Garland to cleanup our shared waterway, Lake Ray Hubbard, and connecting tributaries.
We supply the tools; you supply the power! Choose from a preferred location in Dallas, Rowlett, or Garland to clean up. Following the workday, you are welcome to come hang out at the Hella Shrine Center for free food and fun.
Come dressed to work in the elements: boots, pants, sleeves, bug spray, and sunscreen. Bring a refillable water jug!
8:00 am to Noon Saturday, Oct. 10
