The Optimist Clubs of Maine ask you to join them in picking up roadside trash any time from Earth Day, Wednesday. April 22, through Sunday, April 26. All you have to do to participate is commit to spending at least one hour picking up trash in your neighborhood. By volunteering to help, you could win a restaurant coupon for a meal from a local participating restaurant. Get your family, friends, schoolmates or neighbors to help you, then contact any Optimist Club member, email gwmathews91@gmail.com, or call 783 5269 for more information, to start an Earth Day Cleanup in your community, or to register to win a restaurant gift certificate.
