Post 2001 Adopt A Hwy – Litter Pick Up Saturday 0830

/in /by

Legionnaires,

This Saturday, 13 August, at 0830 our Post will be conducting it’s quarterly litter pick-up as part of the VDOT Adopt a Highway program. Post 2001 has adopted Claiborne from Ashburn Farm Parkway to Hay Road.

We will meet up in the parking lot at the Ashburn Farm shopping center (corner of Claiborne and Ashburn Farm Pkwy) at 0830 on Saturday morning. Look for the group in the main parking lot over by the Exxon station. Then work our way down Claiborne to Hay Road to complete the mission.

Legionnaire Ron Milberg is leading this effort.

Regards,

Norman Larson
