Volunteers are sought for annual city clean-up day

Wayne Ripple Effect is partnering with the Rotary Club of Wayne to conduct a city-wide cleanup of the roads and paths bordering the Rouge River.

The Rotary Club of Wayne is celebrating its 100-year anniversary by performing one service project per month. The project this month is the Annual Downtown Wayne Clean-Up set for 9 a.m. until noon Saturday, April 23.

A morning snack bar will be provided and pizza will be served to volunteers at noon.

Volunteers are needed for the event, a spokesperson noted. Volunteers are encouraged to wear old clothes, masks, and bring gloves.

Those who wish to take advantage of this community service opportunity should bring brooms, shovels, and other cleaning equipment, if possible. Trash bags will be provided.

Volunteers will meet at Goudy Park at 8:30 a.m. for registration.

In addition to the Rotary Club of Wayne, sponsors this year include Harry J. Will Funeral Home, Professional Insurance Associates, Judge Breeda O'Leary and Pat Rice RE/MAX Classic. Help will also be provided by members of the City of Wayne Department of Public Works.

Those who register after April 11 may not be guaranteed a souvenir tee shirt. To register, visit https://www.eventbrite.com/e/downtown-wayne-clean-up-day-2022-tickets-272233607047
