Join in this Saturday for petunia pulling. Afterwards, we'll head over to the BookMark for a free beverage.
Meet at the intersection of Ferry Street and Ludington Avenue. Our block is on the south side of the boulevard. Some rakes and hoes will be provided, along with black bags to collect the flowers and weeds. Bring your own if you have them. We will leave the black bags at the west end of the block at Ferry Street. They will be picked up by Mark Boon and friends.
Adopt-a-Highway Cleanup
Our last Highway Clean Up for the year is scheduled for Saturday, September 19, 2026.
Start time is 8:00 a.m.
It's a pleasant outing and a fun opportunity to hang out with other cool Rotarians, PLUS you get the added satisfaction of helping to keep Mason County beautiful.
Here’s how it works:
We meet in the Taco Bell parking lot at 8:00 a.m. on Saturday, September 19.
Please wear good shoes or boots for hiking in long grass on uneven terrain.
We'll have reflective vests, trash bags, and rubber gloves for everyone.
We'll have a very brief safety review.
BONUS FOR TRASH PICKERS: We will provide donuts!!
We split up in pairs, then drive to our designated locations on U.S. 31 and have at it!
You'll be finished no later than 9:30 am.
Please consider taking advantage of a beautiful day and volunteer to help with this project.
Many thanks to Debbie Howe for coordinating the Clean Ups!
