Local News & Arts:

We haven't had a clean up this year yet, so since Spring is this week, cleaning up Mecca Pike this Saturday, March 23rd at 8 am seemed like the best time to start back up cleaning our adopted road. We are responsible for the first 2 miles of Mecca Pike from 411 going East. We meet at the Engineers Building about a mile out on the right at 8am. Plastic bags and a couple of pick up sticks are available. Bring your own gloves. Safety vests are provided as well. It usually takes about and hour and a half to clean up depending on volunteers that show up.
