Earth Day Clean up

Rotary Earth Day Cleanup on White Lake Rd

 

The Rotary Club of Arnprior participated in the 3rd Annual Rotary Great Lakes Watershed Cleanup on Earth Day. Club and family members cleaned up a stretch of the White Lake Rd west from the Highway 417 overpass including in front of the Antrim Truck Stop and Stinsons. 

 

Plenty of the usual trash artifacts were hauled in including pop bottles, cigarette packs and blown tire bits. Some of the more unusual finds included a $20 bill and two credit cards proving that “there is gold in them thar trash piles!”

 

The Great Lakes Watershed Cleanup involves hundreds of Rotary Clubs around the Great Lakes and demonstrates that acting locally can have a positive environmental impact on regional and global scales. 

Buena Dejoode’s hard work is rewarded by finding a $20 bill.  Guess where she is donating the funds to!!
